Xtags is a software that provides improved markup tags for Quark and InDesign, allowing users to enhance their work through better organization and formatting options.
Xtags is a powerful text filter software designed for QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign. This software automatically creates finished documents from tagged text files, allowing IT departments, OEMs, and system integrators to automate the construction of complex documents without needing to learn InDesign internals or creating custom plugins. Furthermore, it gives end users the power they need for complex editorial jobs.
Driving the document building process with a database is made easy with Xtags, especially when dealing with picture-based data publishing, books, catalogs, classified ads, and more. In terms of user experience, it's easy to use as no technical knowledge is required. You can produce a tagged text file, and simply import the tagged text to generate the final document.
With Xtags, you can produce catalogs, one-to-one marketing, TV guides, directories, real estate guides, trader and swap magazines, phone books, classified advertising, and much more! This software allows you to create text content with full styling, anchored and unanchored boxes and rules, size boxes to their contents, group multiple items together, apply master pages, and control many other aspects of document building.
Xtags fully integrates with InCatalog, meaning you can build a document and then update your data at any time without having to rebuild your document. The software is available for both Mac OS and Windows and costs $400, with multi-pack discounts available.
In the latest release, Xtags 7.2.2 is a fully-functioning serialized release. If you've used a registered copy of Xtags 6 on your machine, then once installed in QuarkXPress 7's XTensions folder these versions should work without reentering a serial number. Otherwise, when prompted you'll need to obtain and enter a 6.x-style Xtags serial number appropriate for your OS.
The latest build is Unicode-aware internally, but does not yet read or write Unicode file encodings (UTF-16 & UTF-8, for example). Support for external Unicode file encodings will be added in a future release. For now, characters in a document which aren't part of the native 8-bit character set will be saved as a tag.
Additionally, support for the <0x....> (and) tag has been added, allowing users to specify any character using its Unicode code point value. It's also worth noting that specifying a non-"Standard" H&J via may cause QuarkXPress 7.0 to crash.
Overall, Xtags is a powerful piece of software that requires QuarkXPress 7 and Adobe InDesign CS or CS2 to run. It simplifies the design process and makes it easy to create complex documents without needing to be an expert in InDesign internals.
