MarkzTools is an XTension that can be used to prevent corrupted QuarkXPress documents, overcoming the dreaded bad file format [70], [39], and [108].
You can verify your saved Quark documents, so you will immediately know when the integrity of your file is suspect. Furthermore, using a special temp file MarkzTools can try to help you recover documents that have become corrupted during a save operation while using Quark. (*Note, this special temp file is only available to MarkzTools behind the scenes and is not selectable by the user.)
In the case of a badly corrupted file in which the page layout data cannot be salvaged, the (scavenge text) feature may extract text stories from a document file.
MarkzTools alerts you whenever you are about to save a lower version document to a higher version. It also makes QuarkXPress backwards compatible, allowing you to open higher version Quark documents.

Woah!!! This is amazing!! I had no idea people still used QuarkXPress! Big news!
I find it interesting that it’s filed under Business Applications rather than Graphics or Design … or all three perhaps, since it is an application. I haven’t used Quark since college twelve years ago. Glad to hear some third party companies are still supporting it.
