New Re: The basic concept
Scribus uses the paste-up format. As a matter of fact, one of the reviews I read on it specifically talked about how it went this route instead of using the word processor "smart typewriter" model.

Scribus uses paste-up, allows you to create frames, link text between frames, handle manual kerning, handles four-color separations... it probably doesn't have *every* feature PageMaker has, but it's definately a DTP app instead of a word processor.

Based on what I've read, mind. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Soon... very soon...

New I tried it briefly
I tried not to give up just because it was different from PageMaker. I really wanted it to be good. I just found it too hard to do what I wanted.

New Not, too hard, differently designed.
Scribus can do nearly everything *I* want except for Database merging integration.

TeXmacs does this for me. I use TeXmacs as a text rendering tool. More a typesetting style of use. There are many many plugin/addon/templates/etc for Texmacs... it is insane the amount of customisation is available.

Go look at the TeXmacs website, it is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember TeX is the basis, remember CTAN?

It can do three style of "document notation" all in the same document. Or you force it to convert on saving. You can even save it any number of way as well.

I don't know about you, I still have my Pagemaker v5.0 disks hanging around and still use it from time to time only because of familiarity.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
