TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Either is a good choice for page layout. Indesign has the edge in
typography, (its just gorgeous). QXP has the edge in having been around
longer thus having more functions, bells, whistles and 3rd party support.
Indesign: totally unacceptable for creating books, magazines - yes, books -
no. Almost no support for this function yet.
Quark: Good for books. Version 4 added many book functions. However, I would
not recommend it for any technical pub ... trust me, I was glad to move to
FrameMaker after many years of QXP. For design intensive books, it is _the_
way to go.
