Glayout

Ideas for a page layout program; there is no code.

glayout is intended to be a page layuot program for the X Window System, working within the Gnome desktop.

You would use glayout to design brochures, posters, newsletters, books or reports. It's not a word processor, though; you might want to create your files in another program, save them as XML, and then import them. For the first version that's probably what you'll have to do.
