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

[Robert Lauriston]

Lots of structured authoring tools, including FrameMaker, offer a
WYSIWYG presentation. I don't see people moving away from that since
it's a lot more efficient to fix formatting problems on the fly.

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.
