[Em Beta] Xtags for InDesign 3-4.0.2 beta 3

[Chris Ryland]

There's a new beta 3 of Xtags for InDesign 3-4.0.2

<http://www.emsoftware.com/products/xtags/beta/indesign>

with the following changes since beta 2:

* The default text wrap setting for baseline-aligned anchored frames  
has been changed from "item" to "none" in order to bypass an InDesign  
composer limitation which was blocking vertical justification in text  
frames containing one or more anchored frames with "item" text wrap.  
Since InDesign's composer flows text around the part of the anchored  
frame extending above the baseline (as if it were a character), the  
text flow resulting from this change should remain the same as it was  
before. The default text wrap setting for ascent-aligned anchored  
frames is still "item".

* Values specified as picas are now recognized even if they contain  
only a points component. For example, while the values "0p6" and "p6"  
both specify six points, using the latter no longer results an error.

* Hidden text tags in QuarkXPress-generated tagged text (<A(...)[...] 
 >)  no longer produce errors and are instead silently ignored (since  
there's no corresponding construct in InDesign).

* Fixed a problem which caused Xtags to issue a "missing composer"  
error instead of a "missing language" error.

* Improved support for toggling font faces when using Adobe Janson.  
Note, however, that Xtags is only able to toggle bold and italic on  
the fonts that InDesign itself is able to toggle bold and italic (via  
Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-B and Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-I, respectively).

* Xtags now recognizes German-localized QuarkXPress standard color  
and language names. For example, "Gelb" will now be treated as  
"Yellow" (so long as the document doesn't already contain a swatch  
named "Gelb").
