Editing Publisher:Refugee Phrasebook (section)

=== Text layout - enemy of hybrid publishing ===
Lack of text-layout software capable of working in a '''hybrid publishing mode''', where:
* the designed layout will incorporate changes performed in the source document
* design decision can be applied to other editions of the phrasebook, like a template. (We wanted to make our work usable by others. We didn't succeed in that.)

The alternative to using text-layout software, would be to work with '''web-to-print'''.
Many issues, such as fonts (see below) or re-usability of styles, would be solved, but others such as the impositions that made the Benelux version into a booklet wouldn't have been possible. Yet Web-to-print seems to be the more promising text layout method for hybrid publishing projects like the RPB.
