Allgemein

Über XTG

The XTG file format uses the XPress Tags language, the knowledge of which is assumed. You can download the manual A Guide to XPress Tags for your program version from the Quark web site.

novelibre Textauszeichnungen

Bold and italics are supported. Other highlighting such as underline and strikethrough are lost.

Anführungszeichen und Interpunktion

It is assumed that quotation marks and punctuation marks are already set correctly; this is best done in advance with a word processor, e.g. via novelibre’s „proof read“ function.

Konfiguration

  • Place a subfolder named novx_xtg in the novelibre project folder. It contains the configuration file and all template files as listed below to be applied to this project. The best way is to copy the provided sample folder and customize the contained files with a text editor according to your needs.

  • If there is no configuration data in the project file, data stored in c:Users<user name>.novxnovx_xtgconfig is used prior to the script’s default configuration data.

  • If a template file or a configuration entry is missing, novx_xtg uses the lower priority source as a fallback.

Hinweis

c:\Users\<Benutzername>\.novx\novx_xtg\sample\

Am besten erstellen Sie eine Kopie und bearbeiten sie.
