Special Character Markers

Scroll Prev Up Next More

Special Character Markers usually represent non-printing characters, and can be used anywhere in where you would put text, such as in holidays names, slogans text, saras, holidays options, ...

 

As compared to tokens, these markers are not framed by braces, and they begin with an ampersand (eg: &n ).

If you wish to include an ampersand as plain text (not as a special characters token) then you should use its ASCII value, namely &038.

 

The following table lists the available Special Character Markers, when using QuarkXPress to generate a diary or calendar:

Markers in the Q++Studio User Interface

 

Most of the special character markers, displayed above cannot be previewed in the editor used to display holidays names, one-time-dates names, slogans text , GenTokens repeated text, or MonthHeader text, and therefore they are converted during diary generation by QuarkXPress, and always appear as tokens in the Q++Studio user interface.
