Tip
One advantage of the TAG format over the XTG format is that the entire text of a QuarkXPress document is stored in a single TAG file. Also, the TAG format stores additional information, e.g. information on processing anchored text frames.
Special tools such as CopyFlow Gold for QuarkXPress from NAPS facilitate the export and subsequent re-import of QuarkXPress documents in the TAG and XTG formats.
Editing of Mobile App Formats
These files are edited with crossTransform.
