Table Of Contents

When QuarkXPress Server is running on Mac OS, use a URL like the following:

http://localhost:8080/sample.qxp?modify=

file:MacHD:xml:createTable.xml

You can also supply a string that consists of valid XML commands. For example:

http://localhost:8080/sample.qxp?modify=

</TABLE>SPREAD></LAYOUT></PROJECT>

To add a new table to an existing spread, use code like the following:

Spread spread = new Spread();

Table table = new Table();

Example, object

model

table.name = "textbox1";

Geometry geometry = new Geometry();

Position position = new Position();

position.top = "110";

position.left = "89";

position.bottom = "220";

position.right = "300";

geometry.position = position;

geometry.shape = "SH_RECT";

geometry.page = "1";

geometry.layer = "Default";

table.geometry = geometry;

table.rows = "2";

table.columns = "4";

table.maintainGeometry = "true";

table.operation = "CREATE";

spread.tables = new Table []{table};

Use the following object hierarchy:

ModifierRequest < Project < Layout < Spread < Table

To delete a table, provide the table's name or ID and set the operation attribute to "DELETE".

• "ID (Modifier DTD)"

• "TEXT (Modifier DTD)"

• "STORY (Modifier DTD)"

• "PARAGRAPH (Modifier DTD)"
