The Standard, Enhanced , Expanded, Extended and 3.3 Compatible options•
are only available if any legacy project having any of these hyphenation
methods applied for any language is opened in QuarkXPress 2018. These options
are not available for new projects.
Extended 2 uses the Dieckmann exception resources and algorithm for•
hyphenation. It is the default method for projects created in QuarkXPress.
The strictness level feature is only supported by Dieckmann hyphenation
libraries (Extended 2 hyphenation method). In QuarkXPress 2017 and earlier,
some languages like US English and International English did not support
Dieckmann hyphenation libraries. In QuarkXPress 2018, all languages have
support for Dieckmann hyphenation libraries (Extended 2 hyphenation
method). When opening a project created in QuarkXPress 2017 or earlier, an
informative icon will be displayed in the Edit Hyphenation & Justification
dialog indicating that the Strictness Level feature is only supported for the
Extended 2 hyphenation method. Users are required to enable the Extended 2
hyphenation method in Preferences (Preferences > Paragraph > Hyphenation
Method) to enable applying Hyphenation strictness levels to a legacy
document.
XTension developer created hyphenation libraries will continue to be supported
for QuarkXPress 2018.
Preferences — Layout — Character
Use the Sharing pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
set the default options for new shared content. Use the Character pane of the
Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify how QuarkXPress
constructs typographic styles such as Superscript and Subscript:
Use the Superscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of superscript•
characters. The Offset value determines how far below the baseline QuarkXPress
places a superscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of
font size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size
of the character and is a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines
width and is a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
Use the Subscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of subscript•
characters. The Offset value determines how far above the baseline QuarkXPress
places a subscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of font
size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size of
the character and is a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines
width and is a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 100% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
Use the Small Caps area to control the scale of characters with the Small Caps•
type style applied to them. The VScale value determines the vertical size of the
character and is measured as a percentage of font size. The HScale value
determines width and is measured as a percentage of the normal character width
