Autopage is the most powerful family of QuarkXTensions for the automated page layout of books, textbooks, encyclopedias, directories and yellow pages.

Autopage is one of a family of XTensions to QuarkXPress that automate the layout of trade books, textbooks, journals, encyclopedias, directories and yellow pages. Autopage automatically places art, tables, footnotes, margin notes and margin art, producing visually balanced page spreads while eliminating orphans and widows.

Autopage 8.3 adds the following commands to its repertoire of scripting commands:

 Autopage previous story
 Autopage next story
 Autopage first story
 Autopage last story
 Autopage previous story exists
 Autopage next story exists

These additional commands allow you to navigate through the extra layer of linking Autopage provides to support varying columnar layout within the flow of a document.

The Autopage palette now supports QuarkXPress' themes. The image above is taken with the Classic Dark theme selected.
The palette also displays more information related to Autopage objects within QuarkXPress documents.

Autopage continues to support export of paginated documents via the Xtags XTension from Em Software, the XPress Tags Filter with QuarkXPress and by linking content together within the QuarkXPress document.

Autopage now supports exporting Autopage tagged QuarkXPress tables. These can be output as a chain of text from each of the cells or they can be exported with HTML table tags so the structure of the table is apparent in the exported text. This yields something like the following once the Xtags markup is removed:

 See table [[TR 0 T=E L=genericSPbox]]6.
 [[C 0]]<table><thead><tr><th>Head Cell 1</th>
 ...
 <th>Head Cell 2</th></tr></thead>
 <tbody><tr><td>Body Cell 1</td>
 ...
 <td>b45</td></tr></tbody>
 <tbody><tr><td>Body Cell 2</td>
 ...
 <td>Body Cell 3</td></tr></tbody>
 <tfoot><tr><td>Foot Cell 1</td>
 ...
 <td>Foot Cell 2</td>
 <td>Foot Cell 3</td></tr></tfoot></table>[[E 0]]

Autopage now exports tagged sidebars with the Autopage tags to reconstruct the varying columnar layout of the sidebar and any Autopage tagged footnotes, art and tables.

Autopage is the only automated page layout XTension for QuarkXPress for producing books, textbooks, directories and yellow pages. It does not require a special viewer XTension to view, edit or print the QuarkXPress documents it creates. It creates easy to edit documents with text boxes linked naturally and spacing adjustments made in the paragraph formats dialog where they are easily accessed and modified whether or not Autopage is loaded. It is compatible with all popular XTensions used in book production for importing tagged text, placing running heads and creating tables and math equations.

KyTek is the leading developer of XTensions that automate the layout of book, directory and yellow pages with QuarkXPress.
