Multi Style II XT for QuarkXPress 8 provides easy block-based style sheets for formatting of price lists, tab data, catalogue text, and more.

When you use a paragraph-based style sheets in QuarkXPress, the application looks for paragraph returns as a stop mechanism. When a paragraph return is encountered, QuarkXPress applies the style up to that point. If you have a portion of a paragraph selected, it will still apply the paragraph style to the entire paragraph. With character-based style sheets, QuarkXPress applies the style to only the selected text.

These methods are great for many of your publishing tasks, but when you are creating complex documents such as prices lists, catalogues, or even tables, you often need to have a different style applied to blocks of text that appear in the same paragraph. Yes, this could be achieved using character-based styles sheets, but you would have to select every bit of text and you could not apply paragraph-level style attributes such as rules above and below. Multi Style II XT solves this problem.
