etrieving copyfitting information
In deconstructed projects, a <BOX> element can contain a <LINKEDBOX> element.
The
<LINKEDBOX> element indicates the point where text has overflowed the
current box and identifies the box where the text continues. The <LINKEDBOX>
element also contains attributes that indicate where in the text the break occurs.
In a
<STORY> element, the <OVERMATTER> element indicates where the current box
overflows when there is no subsequent box for text to flow into. A
<STORY>
element also contains a <COPYFIT> element indicating how many words,
characters, and lines should be allowed to fit in that box and whether the text
currently fits in the box, is too short, or is too long. This information can be useful
for on-the-fly copyfitting.
The elements described in this section occur only in deconstructed project XML
generated by the xml namespace. Do not use these elements when using the
construct namespace.
QuarkXPress Server returns copyfitting information for QuarkCopyDesk articles by
default. To retrieve copyfitting information when deconstructing a QuarkXPress
project, include copyfitinfo=true in the xml request.
Working with tables
To construct tables in XML, use a structure like the following:
<TABLE COLUMNS=”2” ROWS=”2”>
<ID NAME=”MyTable”/>
<GEOMETRY PAGE=”1”>
<POSITION>
<TOP>100</TOP>
<LEFT>100</LEFT>
<BOTTOM>600</BOTTOM>
<RIGHT>400</RIGHT>
</POSITION>
</GEOMETRY>
<COLSPEC>
<COLUMN AUTOFIT=”false” COLUMNCOUNT=”1”
COLUMNWIDTH=”134.667”>
<GRIDLINE COLOR=”Black” GAPCOLOR=”none” OPACITY=”100%”
SHADE=”100%” STYLE=”Solid” TYPE=”LEFT” WIDTH=”1”/>
<GRIDLINE COLOR=”Black” GAPCOLOR=”none” OPACITY=”100%”
SHADE=”100%” STYLE=”Solid” TYPE=”RIGHT” WIDTH=”1”/>
</COLUMN>
