Great Enoch posted:Could you elaborate on this bit? I use InDesign only for its most superficial functions, but don't really have an idea about its underlying functionality. It's like HTML and CSS if you understand that. When you're downsaving you use an IDML file... IDML = InDesign Markup Language. HTML = Hypertext Markup Language. So the actual meat of an InDesign file is just text. When it starts embedding photos for previews and such is when it bloats up and betrays the usually slim basis of a database program. The database part is the linking, book functions, integration with InCopy, etc... it's storing the file locations and the markup language is telling how to render it. It's a WYSIWYG editor... that's why I'm starting to fool around with Muse, it's the same ideas applied to web instead of print (The desktop/tablet/web interfaces is analogous to the alternate layouts in InDesign). Anyone feel free to correct, that's my understanding.
