Atlantis "Review"

codes (in whatever form; whatever then Word could “read”, would be ok).
- Then import it into Word, and Word would aa) translate it all into a proper Word file (perhaps with some additional macroing then, in order to translate some item indent codes into proper outlining again (if necessary, i.e. if that cannot be automated anyway, from a specific outliner to Word), AND bb) Word also being able to translate the above cr codes into its own; bb) almost certainly could be realized by some additional macroing if necessary; btw, here are some links:

and so on

b)
As above, but html instead of rtf, and then, from html to Word, and then macroing for translating the additional codes into the right Word ones

2)

You might ask, why put it into Word then, instead of direct transfer into InDesign or such?

a) Because so many publishing houses insist on the Word format (because the staff there doesn’t know any better); then (in the best of cases) it’s from Word to InDesign (and in the bad cases, from Word to print)

b) Because it’s easy to produce high-quality pdf’s from Word files, whilst InDesign e.g. is astonishingly worthless for this task

3)

There’s lots of tools for “technical writing”, and XML Editors, etc., like Adobe FrameMaker, Stylus Studio, Oxygen, Arbortext Editor and so on (and Latex, of course) - it seems that for serious academic writing, too, some of those might be best.

The irony here being that those begin in the high 3-digit dollar range, whilst Atlantis is 35 bucks, so you see what a treat Atlantis with cr would be even if the developer tripled its price on the occasion.

4)

As said above, some bitsters accuse Atlantis for not being free; they don’t grasp that it has got a real nice outlining feature (even if you tell them) which largely justifies the price.

It would be of interest to muse about “Atlantis vs. 1-pane outliners” - where are the conceptual differences, or why would I be wrong if I said “Atlantis is one of the best 1-pane outliners there is”?
