DX command description


Description: This command defines the style sheets and text elements to be placed in the "BlockRef" block. During text export, the program uses this table to rebuild a Datox coded file. The program generates the logical tag (for example, "TI") using the style sheet assigned to the text element.


Syntax: [ DX =  StoryRef  ;  BlockType  ;  LogicName  ;  StyleName  ;  BulletString    ]


StoryRef
Integer
Story reference
     
BlockType
Integer
Type of the block according to the following list. This type helps to find the block in the selected story. #define kNone [tb] 0 #define kTitle [tb] 2 #define kHeader [tb] 3 #define kText1 [tb] 5 #define kText2 [tb] 6 #define kText3 [tb] 7 #define kText4 [tb] 8 #define kText5 [tb] 9 #define kText6 [tb] 10 #define kSubtitle [tb] 12 #define kSignature [tb] 13 #define kUptitle [tb] 14 #define kTopic [tb] 15 #define kCommon [tb] 16 #define kAd [tb] 18 #define kFA [tb] 19 #define kImage1 [tb] 21 #define kLegend1 [tb] 22 #define kCredit1 [tb] 23 #define kImage2 [tb] 25 #define kLegend2 [tb] 26 #define kCredit2 [tb] 27 #define kImage3 [tb] 29 #define kLegend3 [tb] 30 #define kCredit3 [tb] 31 #define kImage4 [tb] 33 #define kLegend4 [tb] 34 #define kCredit4 [tb] 35 #define kBorder1 [tb] 37 #define kBorder2 [tb] 38
     
LogicName
String
Name of the tag as it appears in the text file which will be imported later. This name is the name of the DATOX tag.
     
StyleName
String
Name of the QuarkXPress style sheet which will be assigned when the logical tag will be met in the imported text.
     
BulletString
String
String to insert after assignment of the style sheet (30 char. maximum). This string will be applied only when the the style sheet will be assigned.
     


Note: This command must be called only when the block used as reference as already be created. The third and forth parameters may be repeated for all the pairs logical tag/style sheet. The maximum number of pairs per block is 20.


Example: [dx= 2; 2; "TI"; "Title 3 cols"; "ST"; "UpTitle 3 cols"] Define block #2 as a block of type 2 (Title). The logical tags "TI" found in the text will be converted in style sheet "Title 3 cols" and tags "ST" wil be converted in style sheet "UpTitle 3 cols"
