Table Of Contents
The data within the RICHTEXT element inside a HIDDEN element is a Base 64-encoded
representation of the raw data that is stored within the hidden text. Considering that
hidden text in QuarkXPress can contain any type of data, and the structure of that data
is specified by the XTensions software that creates it, this method ensures that the data
can be safely represented in XML. Also, this data can be converted back into the same raw
data structure so that it can be read by the destination XTensions software. If the content
is edited, the destination XTensions software may not be able to interpret it. Only XTensions
software developers should attempt to interpret data from their own XTensions software.
Using interactivity
The <INTERACTIVITY> element describes an asset used as an interactive element for a
format such as App Studio and ePUB.
The specific schema for an interactive element is determined by the XTensions module
that owns that element, so such schemas are not defined here. The best way to create or
modify an <INTERACTIVITY> element is to deconstruct it and then use the deconstructed
XML as a template. Below are some examples of App Studio interactivity.
Button interactivity
