Constructing a project
Every project created with the construct namespace must be based on a Job Ticket in a Job Jackets file.
Using construct to create a project is roughly equivalent to using the
File > New > Project from Ticket command in QuarkXPress.
When you create a project using the construct namespace, you must supply the path to the Job Jackets
file that will supply the project's resources. To do so, indicate the URL of the Job Jackets file in the
PROJECT@JOBJACKET attribute and the name of the Job Ticket in the PROJECT@JOBTICKET
attribute. (
<PROJECT> is the root element of the Modifier DTD.)
For example, to create a project from a Job Ticket named "Tall US Brochure Ticket" in a Job Jackets
file named “BrochureJJ.xml,” you could use the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<PROJECT JOBJACKET="MacintoshHD:brochures:BrochureJJ.xml"
JOBTICKET="Tall US Brochure Ticket"
PROJECTNAME="project1.qxp">
