So Long and Thanks for the Fish -- Migrating from FrameMaker to Flare

[Rick Quatro]

Mike's comment is interesting light of the fact that many people are moving away from WSIWYG "in this century." The whole XML-authoring world, with DITA, S1000D, DocBook, etc., is a move away from WSIWYG authoring tools. Increasingly, authoring content is being separated from rendering it for output (for example, with applications like Flare). In a sense, we are going full circle back to the division of labor that existing in the typesetting era. That is why there may be a revival in the LaTex world: it has always separated authoring and rendering.

➢  Isn't LaTex a non-WYSIWYG application, though? I can't imagine working that way in this century. I don't think I've done that since Wordstar. :)
