Some Framers are considering alternate applications, so compatibility information and usability comparisons are useful. As to possibly-embedded characters affecting line endings and similar behavior, the InDesign option to hide/reveal hidden characters can help. On Fri, Aug 20, 2021, 8:54 PM

An update. I attempted to import an InDesign IDML file into these two tools: Magix Designer Pro X and Affinity Publisher, to continue to edit this file like I need to do. Summary: Affinity Publisher did better than Designer Pro X ... however, although very close, neither tool showed like the
