Anchors
An anchor is simply a marker that you have attached to an object somewhere in the layout.
You can attach anchors to the following:
• A word, character, or string in a raster or HTML text box or in text on a path
• A picture box
• A particular area in an image map
• A particular cell in a table
• An empty box
• A line
In QuarkXPress, anchor indicators look like this: or .
Targets
You can use targets to control in which window a destination is opened. The available
types of targets are as follows:
• None: The destination should display in the same window as the hyperlink.
• _blank: The destination should display in a new browser window.
• _self: The destination should display in the same window as the hyperlink.
• _parent: The destination should display in the parent window of the page containing the
hyperlink.
• _top: The destination should remove all frames on the page and occupy the entire browser
window.
A target is associated with an individual hyperlink (something the end user clicks), rather
than with a destination (the URL opened by that click). Consequently, you can't specify
a target if you're only creating a destination.
Creating a destination
A destination contains a URL that a hyperlink can point to. To create a destination:
1
Choose Window > Hyperlinks. The Hyperlinks palette displays.
• To specify the URL manually, choose URL, and then either type the URL in the URL field
or use the Select button to create a path to a particular file. (Keep in mind that you must
make sure the path is still valid in the exported HTML page.) You can choose from four
common protocols using the drop-down menu next to the URL field.
• To link to a different page in the same layout, choose Page from the Type field and then
choose a page from the Page drop-down menu.
• To link to a particular anchor in the same layout, choose Anchor from the Type field and
then choose an anchor from the Anchor drop-down menu.
