QuarkXPress 2019 Introduces Flex Layouts
QuarkXPress 2019 introduces Flex Layouts, a first in digital publishing for graphic designers. Flex Layouts is a new layout space that lets designers create truly responsive HTML5 web pages in a WYSIWYG environment. Flex Layouts do not require any HTML or CSS coding skills, which means graphic designers can start creating banner ads, landing pages, microsites and more.

Modern Web Design: Transform print designs into modern web pages with Flex Layouts that enable users to deliver responsive web design without coding. Bring layouts to life with native HTML5 and CSS3 effects including drop shadows, gradients, vector shapes, video and a wealth of interactive elements.

Truly Responsive Experiences: The HTML output from the Flex Layout space is responsive to any device aspect ratio, including desktop, tablet and mobile phone screens. Designers can add any interactive element QuarkXPress supports, apply a parallax effect on background images, and test responsiveness without ever leaving QuarkXPress.

Graphic Designers Become Web Designers: The responsive HTML5 output from Flex Layouts complies with emerging web standards, which means graphic designers can create native, app-like experiences for the web directly in QuarkXPress. Once a Flex Layout is complete, designers can export and upload the code to a web hosting service – or – use Flex Layouts as your prototyping tool and share the code with your web team.

Tables Reimagined
Tables are a powerful tool for simplifying the presentation of complex information. However, it can be time consuming for designers to create and update tabular content. In QuarkXPress 2019, Quark completely reimagined tables introducing its new table object that combines creative freedom with time-saving automation.

A Powerful New Table Model: The new table model in QuarkXPress introduces new styling rules for table, row, column and cell level formatting along with text styling rules. Designers can apply table styles to any table regardless of whether they are created directly in QuarkXPress or auto-imported a table from Excel. What’s more, if changes are made to the source Excel table, the data is updated in QuarkXPress without impacting the table design.

Easy Access to Table Styles: All table styling can be done in QuarkXPress through a new and intuitive user interface. Designers can access table styles from the measurement palette, which offers much finer control over formatting tables at the cell level, plus unlimited opportunity to format borders and add shading.

Save Time, Boost Productivity: QuarkXPress includes predefined table styles, which have all of the formatting options preset or you can build your own. When importing tables from Excel, you can even automatically create a table style as part of the import process.
