Some minor QuarkXPress features are not available through the Modifier DTD. However,
this DTD represents the majority of all user-editable aspects of a QuarkXPress project.
The deconstruct namespace/request no longer exists. If you try to use it in this version of
QuarkXPress Server, an error is returned.
Deconstructing a project
The xml namespace returns an XML representation of the target project. To use this
namespace, use a URL like the following:
http://QXPServer8:8080/xml/project1.qxp
When you use the xml namespace, QuarkXPress Server returns an XML file that represents
the deconstructed project. This XML file adheres to the Modifier DTD (see "Modifier DTD
(annotated)").
An XML file that represents a deconstructed project does not contain all of the information
necessary to reconstruct the project. The definitions of the project's resources (such as style
sheets, colors, and master page definitions) are stored in a Job Jackets file. For example,
you can apply a style sheet to a paragraph by indicating the style sheet’s name, like so:
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="BodyText">
<RICHTEXT>The sun has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The above information is included in the deconstructed project’s XML file. The definition
of the “BodyText” style sheet, however, is stored in the Job Jackets file.
The URL of a deconstructed Job Jackets file is indicated by the PROJECT@JOBJACKET
attribute. If you need access to new colors, style sheets, master pages, or other resources,
add them to the Job Jackets file indicated by this URL.
Projects can also refer to resources defined with the QuarkXPress Server Document Controls
submenu (Server/QuarkXPress Server menu). QuarkXPress Server looks for resources first
in the Job Jackets file and then in the server-defined resources.
XML
Creates an XML file from a QuarkXPress project. The XML is returned in a fixed format
that adheres to the Modifier DTD. You can use the returned XML to create or modify a
QuarkXPress document using the construct namespace or modify parameter.
