Translating the nine QuarkXPress base colours
In an English QuarkXPress document/programme colour names are English by default, in a
German document, they have German names. DATAformXTension translates, if necessary, the
following colour names and assigns them the corresponding colour:
Blau
Blue
Cyan
Cyan
Gelb
Yellow
Grün
Green
Magenta
Magenta
Paßkreuze = Farbmarken
Registration
Rot
Red
Schwarz
Black
Weiß
White
With this function colours are always correctly assigned if their name is given in one of those
languages.
¶*T3*-0*b1*R1*B"Registration"*$¶*y110*Y210*T3*-0*b1*R1*B"Paßkreuze"*$¶
creates two boxes in QuarkXPress each with the colour "Registration".
Missing colour messages
Colours are only imported correctly if they have previously been defined in the QuarkXPress
document into which they will be placed. If the colour is missing in the document, DATAfor-
mXTension shows an error message and the entire import procedure can be aborted.
The colour "light blue" is not defined in the QuarkXPress document.
“Cancel” stops the entire import procedure.
“Skip” skips this colour assignment and uses a standard colour.
The standard colours are black for lines, frame styles and text, white for everything else.
If one of the following colours is missing, a message appears: box colour, colours of coloured
pictures, colour blends, line and frame colours and the text colour of the box font.
Font colours in the text that are imported by XPressTags are not checked.
