Take a look at TheMagPi.com ( I think, off the top of my head). It's a free magazine for Raspberry Pi users which can be read online or downloaded as a pdf.
It is produced using the Scribus publishing package which is available for free, form Linux, Windows and Mac (as far as I know). Text can be imported from plain files, html, Libre/Open Office and so on. Word docs? I'm not sure. Definitely not Quill! If anyone remembers a while back when there was a discussion about producing an electronic version of QL Today, I mentioned it as a possible system. However, Jochen had spent a lot of time and effort in learning the system he used, and didn't want to learn a new system. It's still a possibility. I have my own plans, to finish my articles, or get them to a finished state anyway, and then publish the entire series as a single PDF. You'd be surprised at how small it is! I'm assuming that doing so won't breach any copyright etc of course? Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
