Modifying layouts with XML
The xml namespace deconstructs a project according to the Modifier DTD. The construct
namespace lets the server turn an XML representation of a QuarkXPress project back into
an actual project. With these namespaces, you can deconstruct a project into an XML
representation, change the XML in accordance with the Modifier DTD, and then have the
server generate an updated version of the QuarkXPress project. You can even create new
QuarkXPress projects from scratch using XML.
In addition, you can use the construct namespace to:
• Create a page based on master page
• Create a project from XML, using a Job Jackets™ file as the basis for the project
• Modify text font and style, including OpenType® styles
• Apply style sheets and local formatting to text
• Create and populate tables
• Import pictures into picture boxes and specify picture attributes
The DTD used for XML construction and deconstruction is completely Unicode®-compliant,
making it ideal for use in international publishing. Furthermore, the use of this DTD
ensures that the schema of XML output created by Constructor does not change when
server preferences change. This DTD is provided in the QuarkXPress Server application
folder and fully documented in the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
Deconstructor XTensions software and the deconstruct namespace are no longer
supported.
