For example, you can now apply an unlimited number of Style Sheets CSS styles are automatically generated from QuarkXPress Style Sheets you can use the new HTML5 palette to add audio and video interactivity to items you can include items on the Pasteboard in the reflow (for example, to use a different picture in the ePub than in the print document) you can use Callout Anchors to insert pictures into the text flow without needing to split the Story into multiple components and you can tag and export to Reflowable ePub from App Studio layouts. The existing Reflowable ePub features have also been dramatically enhanced. This means that you can now use the familiar App Studio interface to build interactivity into ePub files-including Audio, Video, Slideshows, Animations, 360-degree images and Buttons.
With the recent ratification of the EPUB 3 standard, Quark has now migrated their HTML5-based App Studio tools into all the QuarkXPress 2015 layout spaces (Print, eBook and App Studio). During export, QuarkXPress 2015 automatically includes or excludes these interactive elements for different devices or Reflowable ePub.įour years ago, Quark’s App Studio was the first user-friendly tool to convert publications into complex, interactive iOS apps. The new HTML5 palette lets you add interactivity to objects in any layout space. This makes it much easier to keep an identity consistent across multiple layouts. Once inside your new eBook document, you can use all the rich layout tools in QuarkXPress, including sharing Style Sheets, Colors, Item Styles, Footnote Styles and other attributes across Print, App Studio and eBook layouts.
The main benefit to Quark’s approach is that you can design one layout for your eBook and let QuarkXPress optimize its page size and special features for each output format. (While you cannot export a Fixed Layout ePub from an existing Print layout, you can still build a Reflowable ePub from an existing Print layout.) There are benefits and drawbacks to this forked approach, and its value depends on your existing content and future plans. The eBook layout space in QuarkXPress 2015 supports both Fixed and Reflowable ePubs. To assist in creating a Fixed Layout ePub, QuarkXPress 2015 provides standard device page sizes, such as iPad and Kindle Fire.
