BTW - didn't mean to sound harsh, but this mis-info, topic is wearing on
me...

>From a strictly structural analysis of your argument, you seem to want to
INTEGRATE in stead of separate the 4 processes you describe (want them
coupled).   For Scriptus, I've seen create/edit tool lists that are
bafflingly rich and long.  Editing text is... editing text;  With Scribus
you can insert a layout box, and put in it the output of LaTex (processed),
or reST.  so the editing is still separate.

It seems to me the argument you are making is one of workflow, and prefering
not to deal w/ markup languages (of any kind) if at all necessary, and I
don't know that I disagree with you.... it's just that I don't find markup
languages all that troubling (heck , used nroff and troff for years - was
the best way to self generate a book / paper, well before "Word" ... or even
Microsoft!  existed).

But I'm just toying with you - I don't mean to dismiss you, merely show the
circularness of these arguments.  There's nothing wrong with Sphinx.  Theres
nothing wrong with LaTex;  there's nothing wrong with Scribus.  All require
some learning  (now, if you want to mush it all together, let's just use
open office and be done).

Kindly,
Yarko
