Working with sections
The Section feature lets you change the numbering system for a layout or a range of pages
in a layout. To use this feature, you create a section start on a particular page. In that
section start, you can specify a number format, a starting page number, and an optional
prefix. For example:
<PAGE FORMATTEDNAME="A1" MASTER="A-Master A" POSITION="RIGHTOFSPINE">
<ID UID="1"/>
<SECTION FORMAT="ROMAN" NUMBER="1" PREFIX="A" OPERATION="CREATE"/>
</PAGE>
Once you have inserted a <SECTION> element, QuarkXPress Server will apply
section-specific numbering and formatting to automatic page numbers. To insert automatic
page numbers, use the RICHTEXT@PAGENUMBERCHAR attribute:
<TEXT>
<STORY STORYDIRECTION="HORIZONTAL">
<PARAGRAPH MERGE="false" PARASTYLE="Normal">
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false">This is page </RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false" PAGENUMBERCHAR="CURRENTPAGE"/>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false">. The story continues on page
</RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false" PAGENUMBERCHAR="NEXTPAGE"/>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false">. This story is continued from page
</RICHTEXT>
<RICHTEXT MERGE="false" PAGENUMBERCHAR="PREVIOUSPAGE"/>
</PARAGRAPH>
</STORY>
</TEXT>
To remove a section break, use XML like the following:
<PAGE FORMATTEDNAME="A1" MASTER="A-Master A" POSITION="RIGHTOFSPINE">
<ID UID="1"/>
<SECTION OPERATION="DELETE"/>
</PAGE>
Working with Composition Zones
A Composition Zones item in a deconstructed project is represented in XML by a
<COMPOSITIONZONE> element. Like the <BOX> element type, this element type supports
the <GEOMETRY>, <SHADOW>, and <FRAME> elements.
The content of each Composition Zones item is provided by a layout called the composition
layout, which can be internal or external. Each <COMPOSITIONZONE> element includes a
TYPE attribute that indicates whether its composition layout is internal or external.
• For internal Composition Zones items, each Composition Zones item is represented as an
additional <LAYOUT> element within the <PROJECT> element. The LAYOUTREF element
within the <COMPOSITIONZONE> element indicates the name of the <LAYOUT> that
corresponds to that particular Composition Zones item.
