Instantly Export to HTML in QuarkXPress
Most QuarkXPress users know that QuarkXPress 5 and above lets you convert a Print layout to a Web layout and then export it as an HTML document.
But if all you want to do is quickly export a PRINT layout to HTML, a shortcut is to hold down the Shift and Control keys while selecting File> Export.
Magically, the HTML… option appears. Choose it, select a destination for the HTML files, and click Export or OK. All the files necessary for uploading or viewing your document as a Web page will be exported to your chosen location.

I’ve got a file that refuses to export. It’s extremely simple and has always been fine in the past, but my latest edit just gets hung up in the export and then I have to force quit Quark cause the wheel just keeps spinning. What’s up?
Jan: it sounds like a problem for Quark’s free technical support folks. There are so many variables…
I like to use their free online chat system for tech support. I can be doing other things while they look stuff up, and I can send them files to check.
I have using Quark for over 20 yrs. I was asked to typeset recipes for a relative using Quark for their new web page. I have been successful in setting the copy and photos and it looks great, the problem arises when the html copy is opened up on the web page. You can see that various text and photo boxes are no longer transparent. The box outlines show. I did make the boxes transparent in item runaround.
Any suggestions for this great gramma who is trying to help?
Many thanks
The issue with the shortcut though is that he copy is not editable and the html makes separate pages and does not sequester the image files into a separate folder. I had a 200 page document. Ugh…
This article will help the internet viewers
for creating new webpage or even a blog from start to end.
fantastic issues altogether, you just received a
brand new reader. What may you recommend about your submit that you just made a few days in the past?
Any positive?
Hi, Jay!
This was a great article that I used to export a 227 page book to HTML format. Quark, version 9, however, outputted each page individually. Is there a way to output with an index file that will link the pages? Is that feature available in Quark 10?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Hi Jay
I need to convert my Quark files for books to xml, and am going to try exporting to html as just seen here.
Do you have any advice re: hyperlinks. The Quark dialogue box for it seems very clumsy and difficult, and I don’t think will work for the high number of hyperlinks needed for a book.
Many thanks
