{75} *g Box properties
["6 digits"]
The Tag allows importing and exporting the DATAform properties of a QuarkXPress item.
The Tag exports and expects 6 digits always. The default value on missing *g Tag is
*g"222222". The single digits define the possibilities in the dialogue „DATAform/Box pro-
perties...“, as well as the function while duplicating boxes. The Tag *g gives enhanced controls
to the database developer and more options for individualizing box properties to the enduser.
1. digit “Object Nº.” [Values: 2 or 5]
2 = The field “Object Nº.” can be edited.
5 = The field “Object Nº.” is in read only mode.
¶*#3001*G3*T3*?"Price A"*g"522222"*$¶
creates a text box with properties as shown top left. Its “Object Nº.” cannot be edited.
2. digit “Group Nº.” [Values: 2 or 5]
2 = The field “Group Nº.” can be edited.
5 = The field “Group Nº.” is in read only mode.
3. digit “Export with XPressTags” [ Values: 0, 1, 2 as well as 5, 6, 7]
The digits enables a box specific export with XPressTags. It sets the popup menu:
0 = “Text only”, the text should be exported without XPressTags, as plain ASCII text.
1 = The text of the box should be exported including XPressTags.
2 = The current definition in the dialogue “DATAform/preferences” should be used. The
checkbox in this dialogue
is effective for all boxes set to “according to
preferences”. This is the default setting for manually created boxes or if the Tag *g is mis-
sing.
The values 5–7 set the popup menu analogous to 0–2 and disable it additionally; plus 5
means deactivate the item.
¶*#3001*G3*T3*?"Price A"*g"556222"*$¶
creates a text box which will be exported with XPressTags always – regardless wether this
is set in DATAform/preferences. And the setting “with XPressTags” is not editable; the 3rd
digit is 1 + 5 = 6. See picture top right.
With picture boxes and lines the digits 3 and 4 will be ignored, but still exported and impor-
ted.
