--- Comment #259 from liotier <[email protected]> --- (Apologies for the previous fragment inadvertently sent.) > You can achieve outline function in jedit, use version control > and make final formatting in writer by simple copy of text > from text editor to writer. What sets a word processing apart from a desktop publishing and text editing is that content and form are melded. The text editor focuses on the content, the desktop publishing package focus on format - a word processor does both... It is a compromise. In desktop publishing, such as using the excellent Scribus for example, the workflow is indeed to take a piece of text produced elsewhere and use it as raw material for a set of pages where formatting happens. The attraction of word processing is that content creation happens in a formatted environment. Considering a word processor as a mere last stage in the pipeline is quite demeaning... And if that is the role assigned to Writer, the why use it instead of Scribus ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
