Re: Galleys and breaking newsletter articles

[Jeff Kingston]

In principle, Lout could do this provided the column width of each
individual article never varies.  (Different articles could have
different column widths.)  Each article would be one galley
targeted to one kind of place, and each point on subsequent pages
where that article was to run would be tagged with that kind of
place.

However, the standard packages are not set up to do this kind of
thing, and in practice laying out the pages in Lout is going to
be pretty clumsy if they are all different in layout.

So there is a long job ahead of someone developing expert level
Lout to make this possible, and even then the actual page layout
will be very tedious.  Probably not the best way to go.
