*T103 DELETE =>
¶*T103*Mx*$¶
Sets the processing mode for the following box objects to “delete”.
Box objects with *#x or *Gx (the x stands for a number other than zero) that are found in the
QuarkXPress document are deleted, box objects with *#0 and *G0 (or missing Tags) are
skipped.
Suppress dialogue
*M defines the treatment of objects that are not found. (A *Gx object is considered not found,
if not a single box with this group number is found.)
If required, one of the following dialogues will be shown: “The box with object No. xxx could
not be found” or “No boxes with the group No.xxx could be found.”
The dialogue offers the two buttons Cancel and Skip. Cancel stops the entire process. Skip
skips the current box object.
*M0
or missing *M Tag, the default settings are used, see below
*M1
show dialogue
*M2
skip object
Default settings
Calling a load procedure automatically transfers internally before loading the functional object
¶*T103*M1*$¶. This means that this preferences are preset each time.
Calling the load procedure by message automatically transfers internally before loading the
functional object ¶*T103*M2*$¶
If a text with DATAformTags contains no import function with *M, it will be automatically
processed according to the calling method.
Box objects after ¶*T103*$¶
The box objects that come after ¶*T103*$¶ describe the boxes which should be deleted in the
QuarkXPress document. These box objects can contain complete object descriptions, but must
have at least three Tags: *T, *$, *# or *G.
Complete example
¶*T101*$¶*#111*T3*$text in box¶*T103*$¶*T3*#111*$¶
places the box #111 in the left/top page corner and immediately deletes it. The text contains the
objects:
¶ switch to import mode¶ the box/boxes to be imported¶ switch to delete mode¶ the box/boxes
to be deleted¶
The following rules apply for the boxes that will be deleted:
¶*T3*#15001*$¶
Deletes the box with object No.: 15001.
The QuarkXPress object must not be a *T3 box; a line or a picture
can also be deleted with this method.
¶*T12*G15*$¶
Deletes all boxes in the document with the group No. 15.
¶*T13*G0*#0*$¶
Nothing happens; neither *# nor *G are defined.
¶*T3*$New text...¶
Nothing happens; neither *# nor *G are defined.
¶*T3*G15*#15001*$¶
Only deletes box #15001; not the group G15.
¶*T3*G15*#0*$¶
Deletes all boxes in the document which have the group No. 15.
