<strong>Does quark 5.0 have that feature showed at 2 or 3 macworlds ago where you can design a page and have quark turn it into a website for you?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I was under the impression that feature was enabled via an XTension for Quark. The name escapes me, but if it was in a previous version, and I specifically remember crying as I watched it molest the entire HTML specification, I'm sure it can be had for Quark 5.
i have that. never really used it, thought it was piece of junk and i paid a small fortune for it <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
circa '97 or so, Quark themselves released a product called Immedia
primary function: "HTML-friendly" web output, IIRC, basically 'wannabe-PDF'
code output was more polluted than Frontpage. idiots.
currently residing in the 'where are they now universe'
from quark 4.01 (ubiquitous in design/print) to rev 5 and all they really added is something that failed more than four years ago? (as opposed to an os X version?)
time to play 'spot the recto-cranial inversion winner' in quark's r&d and mktg departments.
more users resist a full migration to OS X due to claims of quark (in)compatibility than any other excuse i've heard. how about where you are?
InDesign is an interesting attempt to harmonize with the other adobe product lines (hence proper transparency import in v2.0), but chickens and eggs being what they are, until the print community moves off quark, it's still the standard. there's still a critical mass of quark (os9) users to overcome before the market swings far enough to carry much momentum to any other layout tool.
what will change things is pdf.
more and more print shops are internally pdf-only. job in from customer, rip to pdf, from there to digital press (or low res download online). print shops hate fixing amateur illustrator errors and poor layout (though they charge fiendishly to deter it) and soon some will _only_ accept files already in pdf (client gets what they send... spot and fix your own errors, we're printing what you gave us). this will drive sales of acrobat distiller (for multi-page or forms unavailable in OS X native pdf creation) faster than sales of indesign in the short term.

For get QuarkXpress get InDesign
and I think the big diference from Quark 4 and Quark 5 is the built-in web page authoring...
Umm did we want that?
Wish they would have spent there time developing Quark for OS X than embedding an HTML filter into Xpress.
