> Look, I hate to point this out, but all presentation software sucks the s/presentation/popular rich text editing software/ Presentation graphics is a particularly finicky subset of the general class of sucky word processors and rich text editors. Except when it's a subset of sucky structured drawing software, which is another five minute hate for another day. > * Script based (Magicpoint, Axpoint, HTML based soltions), hence not Markup-based. If you want a consistent document model, it seems you have to go with a program that exposes the document model to the end-user. If the developer gets a chance to design a document model that the user can't see you end up with WYSIAYG. What you see is all you get. If you change what you see, you only change what you see, how it makes that happen... it's better you not know... it'll only make you angry. > Does any software do this? I don't know. If you find one that does, let me know, I'll be all over it. Unless it only runs on Windows or something. The old Netscape Composer used to be my least worst compromise for rich text editing when I needed more feedback than vi gives me. These days my crutch of choice is hacking software that generates HTML from *Wiki style markup*.
