Table Of Contents
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 sheets name, like so:
<PARAGRAPH PARASTYLE="BodyText">
<RICHTEXT>The sun has risen.</RICHTEXT>
</PARAGRAPH>
The above information is included in the deconstructed projects 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.
xml
Namespace
Modifier DTDDTD
Returns XML only for the box with the given ID or name.
box
Parameters
Returns XML only for the boxes with the IDs or names supplied as a
comma -separated list.
boxes
Specifies the path of an XSL file for transforming the returned XML. Use
the file: indicator to specify the path.
XSL
Specifies the name or number of the layout containing the box to render.
The first layout is layout 1. Note that this parameter works only with the
box parameter.
layout
Tells the xml namespace to describe <GEOMETRY> elements using
<RELPOSITION> rather than <POSITION>. This allows an item's position
relativegeometry
to be defined either in relation to the page or in relation to the entire
spread.
Use only with the relativegeometry parameter. Tells the xml
namespace to describe <GEOMETRY> elements using <RELPOSITION>
relativetopage
elements in which ORIGIN@RELATIVETO="page" (as opposed to
"spread").
