How it Works
This shows what happens after the user has chosen to create a new XML document. It's easy to see where to start.
In this illustration, Quark XML Author uses the Word Style dropdown list to show all of the valid types of content that the author can insert at the current cursor location.
Working hand-in-glove with Microsoft® Word, Quark® XML Author lets users create content in a familiar, simple, and full-featured user interface. Allowing users to continue using Word vastly eases the transition from the hand-crafted publishing process of the past to the dynamic publishing process of the future.
Quark XML Author remains invisible until the Word user tries to edit an existing XML document or create a new one. At that point, Quark XML Author slips in and modifies the operation of the user interface to correspond with XML requirements.
While many functions continue to operate normally, others change in subtle ways to give users appropriate choices to ensure they are creating correct XML.
