Table Of Contents
USING QUARKXPRESS SERVER
To specify horizontal and vertical lines in a table, use XML like the following:
<TABLE>
<GRID TYPE="ALLGRID">
<LINE COLOR="Black" GAPCOLOR="none"
OPACITY="100%" SHADE="100%"
STYLE="Solid" WIDTH="0"/>
</GRID>
...
</TABLE>
Creating tables
To create a new table, use the following parameters in the Modifier schema:
SPREAD
TABLE
COLSPEC
COLUMN
ROW
CELL
The following XML shows how some of these parameters work.
<PROJECT>
<LAYOUT>
<ID UID="Layout 1"/>
<SPREAD>
<ID UID="1"/>
<TABLE OPERATION="CREATE" ROWS="5" COLUMNS="3">
<ID NAME="STATS"/>
<GEOMETRY PAGE="1"/>
<POSITION>
<TOP>5</TOP>
<LEFT>5</LEFT>
<BOTTOM>30</BOTTOM>
<RIGHT>30</RIGHT>
</POSITION>
</GEOMETRY>
<FRAME WIDTH="1" COLOR="Gray"/>
</TABLE>
</SPREAD>
</LAYOUT>
</PROJECT>
Rather than creating tables manually, you can use the Inline Tables feature, which is
much easier to use. For more information see “Using inline tables.”
