Content editing
Text emphasis
Text emphasis determines the way your text will look in the published document.
The text styling features are grouped together on the HOME tab.
The bold, italics, underline and strike-through styles can be applied to the whole document, a paragraph, a word or phrase, or a single letter. The underline and strike-through styles will also be applied to all white space of the selected fragment.
Using styles to format text
Formats and styles are predefined combinations of various formatting options that make it easier to keep the presentation of the text uniform.
Character styles
A character style is a collection of character formatting attributes that can be applied to text in a single step. By default, text that you type into a document will have the Normal character style applied to it.
To choose a character style, select a text fragment and click the Tag Types toolbar button on the HOME tab. The drop-down list contains several predefined character styles that you can apply to the selected text. To make the choice easier, the style names are displayed in the style that they represent, giving you a preview of what the text will look like:
A character style can be applied to the whole document, a paragraph, a word or phrase, or a single letter.
Paragraph styles
A paragraph style includes both character and paragraph formatting attributes, and can be applied to a paragraph or range of paragraphs.
Quark Author Web Edition includes four predefined paragraph styles: Normal, Heading, Note, and Long Quote. By default, Quark Author Web Edition automatically applies the Normal paragraph style to all text in a new document.
To apply a paragraph style, select the paragraph(s) that you want to format, click the Para Types toolbar button on the HOME tab and then choose the paragraph style you want. The drop-down list contains the predefined paragraph styles that you can apply to the selected text:
To select a single paragraph for applying a paragraph style, you can click anywhere in the paragraph. To select more than one paragraph, click anywhere in the first paragraph and drag to anywhere in the last paragraph that you want to select. You do not need to select the entire paragraph.
When you apply a paragraph style, character styles that you have applied to any text in the paragraph remain intact.
The paragraph style will default back to the Normal style when a new paragraph is started.
Change a paragraph style to a different paragraph style (i.e. from Heading to Note) by selecting the paragraph and then choosing the new paragraph style.
Removing styles
Remove a style applied with the Para Types or Tag Types menus by opening the drop-down list and clicking the formatting style name again.
Regions
A region is a meaningful wrapper element that can be applied to a contiguous run of one or more block elements. This allows a user to perform the usual edits within the semantically wrapped content including:
-
adding new content.
-
deleting content.
-
merging content into the region.
-
separating content into multiple regions.
-
nesting content within a region.
You select and apply a region similarly to the way you apply a paragraph style, but it behaves differently from other paragraph styles in several ways.
Creating a region
To create a region, place the cursor in a paragraph, click the Para Types toolbar button on the HOME tab and then choose the desired region type (Quark Author Web Edition includes three predefined region types: Region, Box and Callout).
A region is created and the current paragraph is nested inside that region.
When creating a region, the behavior varies slightly based on the location of the cursor or your selection.
-
If inside a table cell:
The region is created within the cell and selected content is included in the region. Each selected table cell is a separate region of the same type.
-
If inside a figure or video:
A region cannot be the child of a figure or video, so if the cursor is in a figure or video, the entire figure or video is added to the new region. When a selection partially or completely includes a figure or video, the figure or video will be included in the new region.
-
If inside a list item:
When the cursor is in a list item, the complete list is wrapped in the new region. If the list item is part of a set of contiguous non-numbered paragraphs, a table, or a figure, then the new region will be nested in the list item.
To select a single paragraph for creating a region, click anywhere in the paragraph. To select more than one paragraph, click anywhere in the first paragraph and drag to anywhere in the last paragraph that you want to select. You do not need to select the entire paragraph.
Working with regions
A region can contain other components besides text such as figures, images, lists and tables. A region can also be applied to cells within a table.
Exiting a region
If the cursor is within one of the region styles (Region, Box or Callout) and a new paragraph is started, the paragraph will be created inside the same region with the Normal paragraph style applied to it. There are three ways to exit a region and begin a new Normal paragraph outside of the region:
-
Place your cursor within the region and Ctrl-Enter.
-
Place your cursor within the region and click the Insert Paragraph After icon on the dynamic REGION tab.
-
Right-click within the region and choose Insert Paragraph After from the context menu.
Paragraph styles within regions
If you select a paragraph within a region, and attempt to apply a paragraph style to it, the style will be applied to the paragraph, with no effect on the remaining paragraphs in the region. For example, if you select (or click in) a paragraph within a Box region and then apply the Heading style, the paragraph is formatted with the Heading paragraph characteristics, but the paragraph will still be contained within the Box region.
Region titles
You can add a title to an entire region. To add a title to a region, right-click within the region and choose Region Title from the context menu, or place the cursor within the region and click the Region Title icon on the dynamic REGION tab.
Copying and pasting regions
To copy and paste an entire region and preserve the region style, select the entire contents of the region. When a partial selection is copied and pasted, the region style is lost.
Nesting regions
Regions can be nested, i.e. a Box region within a Callout region, as shown here:
To nest a region within a region, you must first create the content. Next, select the paragraph or paragraphs you want in the nested region and then choose the new region style.
To change an entire region from one style to another, place the cursor inside the existing region and then select the new region style.
Cross reference to a region
You can insert a cross references to a region in a document, see "Inserting a cross reference".
If a region contains a title, the title will be used to create the cross reference. If a region does not contain a title, the cross reference will be created using the first 32 characters of the first paragraph present in that region.
Removing a region
There are three ways to remove a region:
-
Place the cursor within the region and choose None from the Para Types drop-down menu.
-
Place the cursor within the region and click the Remove Region icon on the dynamic REGION tab.
-
Right-click within the region and choose Remove Region from the context menu.
The region will be removed but any character or paragraph styles that you have applied to text and paragraphs within the region will remain intact. The region title will remain, but will revert to a Normal paragraph style.
Rich text
Lists
Lists provide a way to structure text in a clear manner, as well as group items that belong together. Quark Author Web Edition lets you create two types of lists:
-
Bulleted (unordered)
-
Numbered (ordered)
Inserting a list
To create a list, click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab. A default list marker will appear at the beginning of the line of text that contains the cursor and the line will become indented.
If you want to add further list items, press Enter on your keyboard. The cursor will move to the next line with a list marker placed at its beginning. The list is continued automatically as long as you press Enter at the end of a line. If you want to suppress list creation, press Enter in an empty line with a list marker.
To convert part of a bulleted list to a numbered list and vice versa, select the desired list items and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List button on the HOME tab.
To convert a complete bulleted list to a numbered list or vice versa, place the cursor in the first paragraph of any list item and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab.
Multiple content block lists
A multiple content block list item is a list item containing one or more content blocks, such as paragraphs, sub-lists, tables or figures, in addition to the initial paragraph of text. There are two ways to add multiple content blocks to a list item:
-
Place the cursor at the beginning of the list item following the list item you want to add multiple content blocks to and press the Backspace key.
That list item will become the next paragraph in the preceding list item.
-
Place the cursor in the list item following the list item you want to add multiple content blocks to and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab.
If you hit Enter at the end of a multiple content block list item, a new paragraph will be added to the same list item.
To change a paragraph of a multiple content block list item into a separate list item, place the cursor within the paragraph and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab again.
You can insert videos, tables, Microsoft Excel components, figures, images and cross references into list items.
Converting existing text to a list
To turn existing text into a list, select one or more paragraphs and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab. Each paragraph will then become a separate list item.
Converting a list to text
To remove list formatting, leaving the text of the list items intact, select the list in the document and click the Insert/Remove Bulleted List or the Insert/Remove Numbered List toolbar button on the HOME tab. The list markers and indentation will be removed and each of the former list items will become a paragraph.
Nesting lists
Sometimes one list level is not enough to represent a more complicated structure of items. Quark Author Web Edition lets you add multiple levels of nesting to your bulleted and numbered lists.
You can also combine bulleted and numbered lists of various indentation levels.
Increasing indent
To create a nested bulleted or numbered list, use the Increase Indent feature. Place the cursor in the line that should start the nested list and click the Increase Indent toolbar button on the HOME tab. The list item will become indented and the list marker will change. The next item added to the list will have the same indentation as the previous one and thus become a part of the nested list.
Increase Indent is not available for the first list item, or for subsequent items in a multiple content block list item.
If the selection is across a multiple content block list item boundary, Both Increase Indent and Decrease Indent will be disabled.
Decreasing indent
If you want to end the nested list and return to the previous indentation level, use the Decrease Indent feature. Place the cursor in the line that should be a continuation of the previous list and click the Decrease Indent toolbar button on the HOME tab. The indentation of the list item will decrease and the list marker will change back to the marker for a list of a higher level.
Decrease Indent is not available for subsequent items in a multiple content block list item.
Inserting Hyperlinks
The Link feature lets you add clickable hyperlinks to your documents.
To insert a link in your document, click the Link toolbar button on the REFERENCES tab or use the Ctrl+L keyboard shortcut. If you want the link to be assigned to a word or phrase, select it first. If no text is selected, the link URL will appear in the document as-is.
Use the Link dialog box to choose the link type and configuration options pertaining to your choice.
-
Protocol - the communication protocol used with the web address. You can choose between http:// and https://
-
URL - the web address of the resource that the link is pointing to. It may be located on the same server as the web site you are currently on or an external server. If you want to use an external address, you must use the full absolute path (for example http://example.com/about.html).
Edit an existing hyperlink by double clicking on the hyperlink, right-clicking on the hyperlink and choosing Edit Link from the context menu, or by placing the cursor inside the hyperlink and then clicking the Link toolbar button on the REFERENCES tab.
Delete the hyperlink by right clicking on the hyperlink and choosing Unlink from the context menu.

When you have finished editing, right-click on the component and choose:
-
Save Component to save your changes and leave the component open for editing.
-
Save and Close Component to save the changes and lock the component from editing.
-
Discard Changes to discard any changes and return the component to its last saved state.
