    Page Title & meta data

    I have just completed a re-build of my portfolio site in Quark 8.

    I chose this over my previous sites in dreamweaver as I love the fact you can use the master page to hold everything in place on each page without images and frame sizes jumping around like in deamweaver at times.

    I would however like to know if you can set a page name for each web page, at present when I export the pages and load onto my sever the pages desplay as blank, leaving me to open the finished design in dreamweaver to add my favicon code, meta data and page title code.

     This all seems like a simple add on to the web design side, if you could just get to the code in some way it would make it really worth while.

     

    Is there any way of doing this in quark???

    Hi Halfbuiltrobot,

    Sorry about the delay in responding.  I have been out on the road for the past month talking about QuarkXPress8 and I am still trying to get caught up on things.

    As for your questions, yes, you can add both page names and meta data sets to pages in QuarkXPress...

    For the page name, you can do it a couple of different ways, but the easiest is to right mouse click (or control + click on the Mac) on the individual page in the page layout pallet.   In that context menu you will have the option to edit that page's "Page Properties".  The Page Properties edit dialog will appear and the fields of greatest interest will be the Page Title, the Export File Name, and the Meta Tag Set dropdown.  To edit the page title (so what appears in the title bar) you simply input the page name in that field.  Of course the HTML file can have a different name than the page title, so we allow you to edit that as well in the Export File Name field (but do so with caution, whereas special characters, punctuation, spaces, etc. will cause problems in the file paths).  And finally you can choose to apply a meta tag set to that page from the dropdown list directly below those two fields.

    To define the content of the meta tag sets, go to the Edit menu and choose "Meta Tags..." (It should be near the bottom of the edit menu). In the dialog that appears, choose New or Edit and add Meta tags to the set as you need to.

    As for the Favicon code, you'll probably still need to add that via Dreamweaver for now whereas we don't have a code editor in QuarkXPress at this time.

    Hope that helps!

    Thank-you that was the answer I was looking for, I can live with adding a line or two of HTML for now I guess.

    I would suggest for the future however that maybe providing a pro extension to Quark 8 in some way, showing the HTML would be an amazing bonus to the hole thing...and would cut the need for Dreamweaver completely.
