Adding New Elements to a Web Page
You may find that the initial components of the Content List -- text and images in the QuarkXPress document -- are not adequate for your Web page. You might need to add new text, picture, or media boxes to the QuarkXPress document. (See Adding Multimedia to Web Pages for more information about adding media files.) You may want to export parts of a story as an image, a list, or a table. And, you may need to add HTML items that don't have counterparts in QuarkXPress. BeyondPress has methods for adding all the things you need in a Web page to the Content List.
Adding a new box
If you create new text boxes, picture boxes, media elements, or anchored boxes in a QuarkXPress document, they are not added to the Content List automatically. You need to add these new items to the Content List.
1 Select the box in the QuarkXPress document.
2 Choose a position for the new item by selecting a Web Page folder 
in the Content List or selecting the Text Chain 
or Image 
to place the new item after.
3 Click Add Items 
to place the item in the Content List.
The new item can be moved, anchored in text, formatted, etc. using the Document Content palette.
Adding a text selection
When you highlight text in the document and add it to the Content List, that entire story is added as a Text Chain 
. However, the part you highlighted is entered under the Text Chain as a Text Range 
What you have done is added all the text, but isolated a portion of it.
The advantage of having Text Ranges is that they can be treated differently from the rest of a story. For example, you can suppress the export of them, convert them to lists or a table, or give them a special style, such as Headline 1. You can have multiple Text Ranges under an existing Text Chain. To create a Text Range:
1 Highlight the text in the QuarkXPress document.
2 Click Add Text 
.
3 Use the options in the HTML column to specify how the Text Range 
should be treated.
Adding Master Elements or Custom Elements
To add a default Master Element to the Content List, open the Elements palette [Extensis>BeyondPress>Show Shared Elements, or pressing Command-Control-S (Macintosh), or Control-Shift-S (Windows)] and click on the HTML tab. Drag the Master Element icon (
or 
) into position in the list. To add a Custom Element to the Content List, drag the 
icon into position then specify the element in the Custom Element dialog box. For more information about Master Elements and Custom Elements, see Using Master and Custom Elements.
Adding a QuarkXPress group
When you use the List Document button, the individual image boxes and text boxes in a group are added to the Content List. If you want to maintain the integrity of a group -- including any lines that may be in the group, you can convert all the elements of the group into one image.
1 Choose a position for the group by selecting a Web Page folder 
in the Content List or selecting the Text Chain 
or Image 
to place the new item after.
2 Use the Item tool to select the group in the document and click Add Items 
on the Document Content palette.
A GroupImage 
is added to the Content List after the selected item. If all the elements of the group were already in the Content List, they are combined into the GroupImage. All image formatting options are available for GroupImages.
