Strip Style Sheets

(Strip Style Sheets)

This option, available for Quark versions 4 and above may accelerate the page copying stage of diary generation and avoid some potential problems when combining Quark files containing conflicting style sheets. Generally the use of Style Sheets is discouraged.

Force saving OPF as previous Quark version

This option, available for Quark versions 5 and above (X > 4), tells Q++ to save the generated output file as a Quark X-1 file, although the file may have been generated using Quark X. The default value for this option can be set in the QuarkXPress page of the Preferences dialog.

Use Main Grid as seed

for Generation

(Use Template as Seed)

If this property is turned on (the default), then the generated output file of a script will use the Main Grid of your script instead of blank pages. This means that the QuarkXPress preferences of your Main Grid (such as superscript values, em-spaces, ...) are applied automatically to generated output files.

Master Pages

(Master Pages)

This option, available for Quark versions 4 and above, will significantly accelerate the page copying stage of diary generation. Generally the use of Master Pages is discouraged in Q++ because the GridTemplates already serve the same purpose, in a much more powerful manner. Having 2 levels of "masters" can only lead to user (and sometimes Quark) confusion.

Quark Format

(Quark Format)

This option, is available for Quark versions 4 and above. Use this option to control if the output file is saved by Quark in QuarkXPress' Single-Language format or QuarkXPress' Multi-Language format. Note that this property is not related to the  Languagesproperty of a diary, but to the difference in output formats between the US version of Quark (single language) and the European Passport version of Quark (multiple languages).
