Setting box type

When unclicked boxes are shown with a red border, they are imported from Adobe InDesign and already contain all the necessary metadata, so you just need to click them in order as described in Newspaper & Magazine guidelines.

When you see boxes with a blue border, you need to set the box type manually.

When you hover the mouse over an unclicked box in Archiving mode, the border will change color according to the current box type.

1. If the indicated box type is correct, then just click the box as usual.

2. If the box type is not as expected, e.g. when an article starts with a vignette, click and hold down the cursor until a round pop-up palette appears.

   • To select the alternative set of options, hold down Alt when clicking.
   • To select options for sidebar boxes, hold down Shift when clicking.
   • To select note types (annotations, footnotes, endnotes and rearnotes), hold down N when clicking.
   • To select list types (ordered lists, unordered lists and definition lists), hold down I when clicking.
   • In publications that allow several heading levels, the extra levels are also shown in the palette. The previously selected heading level will be remembered, to allow for a quicker access.

   The previously selected heading level (H3 in this example) is remembered for quicker access.

   It is possible to click and hold on an already clicked box to change the type.

3. After a box has been clicked, the article index in the small label in the top left corner of the box, will have a background color that indicates the given type.

4. Normally, line breaks are removed from the clicked text, in order to create a reflowable result. If original line breaks are desired, for example in recipes and other itemized lists, this behavior can be overridden by setting the box to Preformatted.

   • To set a box to Preformatted, hold down P when clicking.
   • It is possible to set any box to Preformatted, but the line breaks are still removed from headings and vignettes.

5. The current box type automatically changes according to the most common article structure.

   • The first box is a Heading.
   • Other boxes are Body.
   • After Vignette, the next box is Heading.
   • After clicking an image, the following boxes are Image captions until another image is clicked.
   • After selecting a box in Sidebar mode, other boxes stay in Sidebar mode as above.
   • Hold down Ctrl when clicking to override the automatic change, i.e. to click several headings one after another.

6. When clicking images, you can click and hold to select between author images ('A' in the palette) that is used in bylines, inline images ('I' in the palette) and normal images ('N' in the palette), i.e. everything else.

   Inline images are images that need to stay at (be rendered at) the clicked position in the text, and can't be moved by the reader application somewhere else, e.g. to a slideshow at the beginning of the article.

7. When clicking notes, as mentioned in 2, press N while clicking to show the notes palette.
