Quark 4 & 5 Xpress tags


  • Subject: Quark 4 & 5 Xpress tags
  • From: Giuliano Gavazzi <email@hidden>

I would like to copy the text in a text box including the formatting.

copy text of (text box i) to myText

will only copy the (ASCII) text.
On the other hand (taking inspiration from Unlink Selected Boxes from Quark 5 sample scripts) I can do:

save text of (text box 1) in filepath as "TEXT"

that will save the Xpress tags into the file filepath; one can then reload the formatted text as in:

set story 1 of (text box 1) to alias filepath

I would rather avoid having to use temporary files to store the formatted text, but I do not see a solution. Also, I have not checked if this works with 4.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Giuliano
