STYLE SHEETS
example, <x@$> applies the Normal character style sheet, erasing any existing
character attributes.
Applying a paragraph style sheet
Apply Normal paragraph style sheet: @$:paragraph text •
Apply No Style paragraph style sheet: @:paragraph text •
Apply defined paragraph style sheet: @stylesheetname:paragraph text •
To apply the Normal style sheet (which had attributes defined in the QuarkXPress
project) to a paragraph, begin the paragraph with the @$: code.
To specify that a specific style sheet be applied to a paragraph, begin the paragraph
with the @stylesheetname: code.
To specify that No Style be applied to paragraphs, begin the first paragraph you
want to disassociate from any style sheet with the @: code.
When you apply a style sheet to a paragraph using XPress Tags, the style sheet
remains applied to subsequent paragraphs until another style sheet is applied or
until No Style is applied using the @: code.
You can apply attributes to characters (local formatting) within a paragraph to
which you have applied a style sheet. These attributes remain applied until you
cancel them or until you apply a different style sheet.
If you import text tagged with style sheet names that the project already contains,
QuarkXPress automatically applies the character and paragraph attributes specified
in the project’s existing style sheets. If you import text tagged with style sheet
names that do not already exist in the project, QuarkXPress adds each style sheet
name to the Style Sheets palette. If a new style sheet is not defined in the tagged
text, QuarkXPress applies the Normal paragraph and character style sheet attributes
to the new style sheet and adds the paragraph style sheet to the Style Sheets
palette.
The following characters cannot be used in style sheet names: " : = @
Applying a character style sheet
Apply Normal character style sheet: <@$> •
Apply the paragraph’s character style sheet: <@$p> •
Apply No Style character style sheet: <@> •
Apply defined character style sheet: <@stylesheetname> •
Additional XPress Tags for style sheets
The possibility of a relationship between a character style sheet and a paragraph
style sheet creates the need for additional XPress Tags.
