<A()> encloses the tag.
•
/#72 and /#40 mark the beginning and end of the grouped characters.
•
<t–10h80> are applications of tracking and horizontal scaling (see "Character attributes").
Font sets
Font sets let you specify a group of fonts to be applied to different types of text in a text
run.
Like style sheet definitions, font set definitions are stored in XPress Tags files. For example,
if you export text that uses a font set named "Fontset 1," the definition of Fontset 1 is
exported in the form of a tag like the following, at the beginning of the XPress Tag file:
@Fontset 1=[F]<"HiraMinPro-W3",100,0,h100,"GrecoStd-DB",100,0,h100,
"Corbel",100,0,h100,"HiraMinPro-W3",89.999,-5,h105,"Times-Roman",100,0,h100>
In text, font set tags are as follows:
<h105z10.89b-0.6f"HiraMinPro-W3",("Fontset 1",12)>
The contents of this tag are as follows:
•
h105 = horizontal or vertical scaling (see "Character attributes").
•
z10.8 = percentage of current font size
•
b-0.6 = baseline shift, in points
•
f"HiraMinPro-W3" = font
•
("Fontset 1", 12) = name of the font set to be applied and current point size of font
This feature is available only in particular language editions of QuarkXPress. However, you
can import and export text that uses this features in XPress Tags format using any language
edition of QuarkXPress.
OpenType attributes
Turn on/off styling is similar to the current method used for type styles. Respecifying a
tag toggles the current state of the attribute.
An asterisk (*) in the topics below indicates a glyph attribute. The format for applying
glyph attributes is <DoO,F"zero",I0,f"ACaslonPro-Bold">0<oC>, where DoO =
opening tag, F"zero" = feature, I0 = glyph index (where I0 = the first glyph),
f"AcaslonPro-Bold" = font, 0 = base character, and oC = close tag.
