You can use the xml namespace or Telegraph XTensions software to determine the ID or name
of the box you want to delete.
Notes
Grouping and ungrouping items
To group boxes using XML modify, use XML like the following:
<BOX BOXTYPE="CT_TEXT" COLOR="White">
<ID NAME="MainStoryText" UID="217"/>
</BOX>
<BOX BOXTYPE="CT_PICT">
<ID NAME="MainStoryPhoto" UID="218"/>
</BOX>
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300" OPERATION="CREATE"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryText" UID="217"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryPhoto" UID="218"/>
</GROUP>
To add a box to an existing group, use XML like the following:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryText" UID="217"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryPhoto" UID="218" OPERATION="CREATE"/>
</GROUP>
To remove a box from an existing group, use XML like the following:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryHead" UID="216"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryText" UID="217"/>
<BOXREF NAME="MainStoryPhoto" UID="218" OPERATION="DELETE"/>
</GROUP>
To ungroup an existing group, use XML like the following:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300" OPERATION="DELETE"/>
</GROUP>
To proportionally scale all of the items in a group, add a <GEOMETRY> element that
indicates the new size of the group, like so:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300"/>
<GEOMETRY>
<POSITION>
<TOP>10.0</TOP>
<LEFT>10.0</LEFT>
<BOTTOM>50.0</BOTTOM>
<RIGHT>70.0</RIGHT>
</POSITION>
</GEOMETRY>
</GROUP>
The order of the <BOXREF> elements in a <GROUP> indicates the order in which the
boxes were selected prior to grouping. The z-order of boxes in the layout is determined
by the order of the <BOX> elements in the XML, from rearmost to frontmost.
XML representations of groups created by versions of QuarkXPress Server prior to 8.1
are ignored during construct and modify calls, as they were in earlier versions of
QuarkXPress Server.
