* [DesktopPublisherFamily] DesktopPublishers are used to produce documents in a WYSIWYG fashion. They are more visual than WordProcessors. They are certainly more intuitive than using a MarkupLanguage and TextEditors. ---- Desktop publishing programs go beyond the domain of word processors. A text editor assumes the end product is a file. A word processor assumes you are creating a printed document, and includes features to control the appearance of the printed page as well as facilities for creating and editing text. A desktop publishing program assumes you are creating a document for reproduction, and provides facilities beyond that of a word processor to control the appearance of the document, and to generate files that can be used directly by a printer to print the document. The most popular desktop publishing program was Quark eXpress, which originated on the Macintosh, but was subsequently ported to Windows. A strong current competitor is [[Adobe InDesign]]. Microsoft has a low end entry called Publisher. Under Unix, [[Framemaker]] is the option. There is also a promising open source entry called [[Scribus]]. While desktop publishers may include editing capability, they normally assume you have created your text with a word processor, and will import it into the publication you are creating. ----- It might just be appropriate to create a DesktopPublisherFamily, since we have one for Word Processors. Entrants would include MS Publisher, Quark Express, and Adobe InDesign. --DMcCunney And I did, and populated it. --DMcCunney https://web.archive.org/web/20201019213130if_/https://sites.google.com/site/texteditors/Home/files/MSPublisherScreenshot.png
