Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac

Posted by pudge on from the be-strong-don't-shed-a-tear dept.

Feneric writes "As noted on FrameUsers.com, FrameMaker for the Mac was officially killed by Adobe. Of course, since one of the primary selling points of FrameMaker is its wonderfully solid cross-platform MS-Windows / Macintosh / Unix support, many are now wondering how long it'll now last for any platform."

    There are rules for typesetting documents. TeX (and by extension, LaTeX) uses those rules.

    So the standard, boring "letter" and "article" styles that just scream out: "THIS DOCUMENT WAS TYPESET IN LATEX!" are the rule and we shouldn't deviate from them?

    This is not the job of a word processor.

    Says who? The same guys who made "the rules"? Whose job is it?

    MS Word tracks changes just fine. The student sends me his draft, I type in the changes I propose which the student can see alongside with the original text, he modifies the text, sends it to me, I check out the changes and so on. Works perfectly.

    No, fool. Your use of the phrase 'yet another' was a... oh, to hell with it. You won't care and won't learn anything anyway.
