End marks at article end


Recommended Posts

I suspect he means like a decoration applied at the end of the last text in a linked set of frames according to a style, not manually placing a dingbat.

Something very similar would be a decoration applied at the bottom of every linked frame except the last one.  The Economist magazine uses this house style to indicate that an article is continued.

Currently I do this manually. I created an end mark, I copy this for each article and place it manually in the document. If something in the layout is chaning, I have to change each end mark manually again. Wouldn't it be nice to have a functionality to say: Here at this place, there is the end of an article, place an end mark. And for the future, when anything changes in the layout, the end mark moves with the end of the article.

Hi @dl1mgb,

did you try pinning? This should do what you describe here.

Use a special sigh or signs at the end of the article like ###, write a character style e.g. with font ZapfDingbats and desired font size and call it endmark. When you are done with the document, search for ### and replace with Right Indent Tab glyph and add the character style.

But how I do this without special coding knowledge?

You don't need no special coding knowledge. APublisher has all the tools you need without coding. What information else do you need?

No, there is no such functionality in APu. But there is a way I tested a few minutes ago. Make your graphic and export selected graphic as SVG (export preset works). Visit this site: https://icomoon.io/app/#/select

Then add your graphic(s), select it/them and generate font. Install the font, look at Panel Glyph browser and pick your glyph.

Wouldn't it be simpler to simply take the graphic and pin it inline at the end of the article? Why bother with converting it to a font?

My solution of the endmark based on Find and Replace and you cannot do this with pinned graphics.

There is even no need to pin, you can paste a graphic inline.

Isn't that pinning?
