My schoolboy French is toally inadequate to respond in that language, but Raphael is inviting us to view a comparison of InDesign and Scribus. I think that is the wrong comparison. Scribus is more in the Quark family as far as I can tell. I will be using Scribus for book covers, importing graphics from e.g., Gimp or Krita. InDesign uses the TeX paragraph building routines, and thus is in the top rank in that department. I could wish that Scribus would go and do likewise, but for the present I will not be using it for documents like novels, memoirs and howtos. There are plenty of more suitable tasks for Scribus, and more suitable programs (TeX, InDesign, Framemaker) for the text-heavy books. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
