Advice please: tools for docs development

[Juergen Schreck]

Ruslan,

I agree with Christer. Indesign CS (3.0.1) should cover a good 80-90%  
of your dream. Version control via VersionCue, XML import/export, PDF  
generation, Story editing/manaegment via InCopy, Web exchange via XML  
capability, kick-ass table editor. The only thing I don't know about is  
multiple languages, but I wouldn't be surprised if it handled that  
somehow. If you're thinking content-generation of some sort anyways  
(via XML) then I'm certain you could control languages at that level  
already.

This recommendation doesn't cover your last wish to avoid InDesign  
because of price. But it's the only one I can make from my experience.  
:-)

Regards,
Juergen
