8.1

Table Of Contents
To ungroup an existing group, use XML like the following:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300" OPERATION="DELETE"/>
</GROUP>
To proportionally scale all of the items in a group, add a <GEOMETRY> element that indicates
the new size of the group, like so:
<GROUP>
<ID NAME="MainStoryGroup" UID="300"/>
<GEOMETRY>
<POSITION>
<TOP>10.0</TOP>
<LEFT>10.0</LEFT>
<BOTTOM>50.0</BOTTOM>
<RIGHT>70.0</RIGHT>
</POSITION>
</GEOMETRY>
</GROUP>
The order of the <BOXREF> elements in a <GROUP> indicates the order in which the boxes
were selected prior to grouping. The z-order of boxes in the layout is determined by the
order of the <BOX> elements in the XML, from rearmost to frontmost.
XML representations of groups created by versions of QuarkXPress Server prior to 8.1 are
ignored during construct and modify calls, as they were in earlier versions of QuarkXPress
Server.
Creating tables
To create a new table, use the following parameters in the Modifier DTD:
"SPREAD (Modifier DTD)"
"TABLE (Modifier DTD)"
"COLSPEC (Modifier DTD)"
"COLUMN (Modifier DTD)"
"ROW (Modifier DTD)"
"CELL (Modifier DTD)"
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>
