XChange International Announce Availability of New XTensions

PRESS RELEASE

XChange International, the source for extend­ed tech­nol­o­gy world­wide, are pleased to announce the avail­abil­i­ty of Atomik XML Publisher, the pow­er­ful XTensions® soft­ware that com­bines the rich design envi­ron­ment of QuarkXPress® 7 with the dynam­ic world of XML con­tent. This out-of-the-box solu­tion requires min­i­mal con­fig­u­ra­tion; design­ers with lim­it­ed knowl­edge of XML can import and export XML con­tent quick­ly and eas­i­ly with the click of a mouse.

There are many thou­sands of organ­i­sa­tions around the world who use QuarkXPress to cre­ate high-quality print­ed con­tent. But there is an ever increas­ing require­ment for con­tent to be pub­lished on the Web and oth­er elec­tron­ic media such as mobile devices. There are a vari­ety of ways to do this, but for most organ­i­sa­tions XML is the way for­ward. This is where Atomik XML Publisher comes in.

Features include drag-and-drop capa­bil­i­ties, box order­ing con­trol, para­graph and character-level styling, and sup­port for tables. Built-in automa­tion elim­i­nates the need for users to man­u­al­ly tag or cut and paste con­tent. Atomik XML Publisher is the most cost-effective solu­tion for pub­lish­ing your con­tent any­where and every­where. Atomik XML Publisher allows users to do two things: 

* Export any con­tent in a QuarkXPress lay­out to XML
* Import con­tent in XML for­mat into a QuarkXPress layout 

Top fea­tures include:
* Box order­ing con­trol allows users to spec­i­fy the order in which con­tent is extracted
* User con­fig­urable set­up spec­i­fies what con­tent to export and the lev­el of gran­u­lar­i­ty required
* Tables can be export­ed as XML, CALS, or HTML
* Image data such as name, path, type, scale, size, and colour space can be ref­er­enced in the XML
* Support for all com­mon out­put encod­ings includ­ing UTF‑8, UTF-16, ISO-8851, and US ASCII

Benefits include:
* Reduce costs: elim­i­nate man­u­al con­tent tag­ging and cut and paste with auto­mat­ed XML export to save time and money
* Add val­ue to your con­tent: pub­lish direct­ly to the Web and oth­er elec­tron­ic media
* Increase rev­enue: XML is the per­fect method for syn­di­cat­ing your con­tent for third-party use
* Use exist­ing resources: design­ers with no knowl­edge of XML can use Atomik XML Publisher
* Leverage tech­nol­o­gy: Link QuarkXPress 7 to exist­ing data­bas­es and con­tent man­age­ment systems
