I've attached a file I received with Quark 3.32, which has sample text
complete with Quark Xpress tags.

Perhaps rather than using PHP to edit a whole .qxd file, perhaps you can use
it to help format some text to be imported into a template file.  It's not a
complete solution, but a part of one -- perhaps to be used in conhjuntion
with AppleScript or Macros? (I think the later quark versions have
macros)...


Just to throw a complete spanner in the works, Adobe InDesign2.0 has a lot
of XML capabilities, and much more integrated PDF capabilities than Quark...
perhaps either an XML based solution, or a PDFLib based solution can be
achieved?

Considering InDesign is about 1/3rd the price of Quark, *maybe* you might
want to consider other options aside from Quark.
