If you've ever struggled to convert page-layout docs into HTML, you know about Web authoring plug-ins on the Net. Wouldn't it be great, if Web support was built into apps properly? Thing is, most of these programs have been around for so long it's hard for developers to add features.
But if you decided to write a new layout package today, you could add a lot more than just HTML support, make it fully AppleScriptable, and, with Apple's QuickDraw GX tech, get useful functions free.
Funnily enough, this is what SoftPress Systems has done with UniQorn, its new page-layout package. UniQorn won't replace QuarkXPress any time soon, but it has made it easy for XPress users to swap over and keep the same shortcuts.
If you're producing documents for the Web, you'll love the way HTML formats are already built into the style sheets. This should give UniQorn a shot at desktop publishing supremacy in what so far has been a two-horse race.
UniQorn: around US$1,350. SoftPress Systems Ltd.: +44 (1993) 882 588, on the Web at www.softpress.com.
