The Hyperlinks palette
Destinations
A destination is a "container" for a particular URL. Just as a QuarkXPress project can contain
lists of colors and style sheets, it can contain a list of destinations. Each destination contains
one of the following types of URL:
• URL: Points to a particular resource on the Web.
• Page: Points to a particular page in the same layout.
• Anchor: Points to a particular part of a page in the layout.
Although the user interface differentiates between URLs, pages, and anchors, the actual
link included in the exported HTML file is always a URL.
Just like colors and style sheets, each destination has a name. You can give any name you
want to a destination. For example, if you have a destination for the URL
http://www.quark.com, you could name it "Quark Web Site."
Just as you can see a list of a project's colors in the Colors palette, you can see the list of
a project's destinations in the Hyperlinks palette. And just as you can apply a color from
the Colors palette, you can "apply" a destination to the selected text or item by clicking
that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks palette.
You can edit your list of destinations in the Hyperlinks dialog box (Edit menu). Note that
as with colors, a project's destination list can contain destinations that are not actually
used in the project.
If you prefer to create hyperlinks by selecting something and then entering a URL, you
can still do so in QuarkXPress. However, you should be aware that when you do so, you
are creating a destination, and that destination will be added to the project's list of
destinations and listed in the Hyperlinks palette.
