Hi Robert - just some brief comments

IBTD writing is mostly about content, but formatting can't be completely ignored either, particularly where illustrations are concerned.

I don't think that anyone was saying that formatting was to be ignored, but that it is a different process to writing. Writing and formatting are both very important, but generally shouldn't be done at the same time.

This is what I believe. When I create a document, I type up all the text first, usually in a basic text editor like Notepad or Textpad, and then use a page layout package like Adobe's InDesign, or StarOffice's Writer, to format the document using styles.

If I try to format the document while I'm creating the content, I usually end up with a mess.

The same applies to any webpage I'm looking at creating - get the text set up, and then use a web page layout program to apply CSS styles.
