- Legal notice
Previous versions of QuarkXPress Server only supported the modification of the content and of the
geometry of the bounding rectangle of a Bézier shape or curve created in QuarkXPress. This also meant
that it was not possible to construct a Bézier curve or shape using the Construct namespace, as there
was no description in the Modifier XML format of the box shape, only its bounding rectangle. This
meant that any shapes would be lost in a workflow which involved deconstructing and then
reconstructing a document to Modifier XML. In QuarkXPress Server 8.0, the shape of a Bézier box is
not lost with a construct request. The DTD provides all support to maintain the shape of a Bézier box in
a construct request
For example, for a crescent shape like that pictured here (shown in QuarkXPress, with the drawing
points visible), the Modifier XML to represent it shows both a regular position element, representing the
box geometry, and then one or more contours, each with multiple vertices.
