Your content resides in QuarkXPress® - but more and more of your readers live on the Internet. BeyondPress™ provides a gateway between these two worlds.
The BeyondPress XTension provides a streamlined method for converting the contents of QuarkXPress documents to HTML files. The XTension works by creating pointers to the contents of a document – these pointers are represented by icons in a palette. You can manipulate the icons in the palette to specify precisely what is exported and how it will look.
BeyondPress lets you delete items, create new items, rearrange contents, and apply styles to text and pictures – all without affecting the QuarkXPress document. Since the palette contains pointers rather than actual content, the content to be exported is updated automatically when the QuarkXPress document is edited. BeyondPress also provides a variety of tools for fine tuning and customizing HTML files.

You Need a Browser
To use BeyondPress effectively, you will need a "browser". A browser is an application that allows you to view HTML files (text files in the Hypertext Markup Language format). The collection of HTML files and other files available on the Internet make up the World Wide Web.
BeyondPress creates HTML files from your QuarkXPress document. You will need a browser to see what you are creating.
Here are a few of the many available Macintosh browsers:
- NCSA Mosaic™ – free for public use, developed by the US National Center for Supercomputing Applications. Contact 'mosaic-mac@ncsa.uiuc.edu'.
- Netscape Navigator™ – free for non-commercial use, licensable for commercial use, you can buy this very popular browser from Netscape Communications Corporation by calling (US) 415/528-2555.
- MacWeb – free for non-commercial use, licensable for commercial use, you can get more information about this browser from EINet by contacting 'macweb@einet.net'.
- America Online® has a browser available for subscribers (Keyword: Internet).
- Compuserve also has a browser available for subscribers (GO INETRESOURCE).
Help With the Web and HTML
For more information about creating HTML documents and publishing on the World Wide Web, open "BrowseMe.html" with your browser and follow the hypertext links to more information. To use BeyondPress effectively, you will need to understand at least the basics of HTML.
To view or publish documents on the World Wide Web, you need to have a connection to the Internet. If you need a connection to the Internet, contact a local Internet Service Provider. Your service provider can help you get the required software for your Macintosh, including a browser.
