    Hi Matthias,

    thanks for you response.

    I try to explain problems that causes single-line composer.

    Quark̕s single-line composer is very well optimized for setting justified texts in English. But when you set a justified text (book, thesis etc.) in narrow columns (e. g. books in formats like 13 × 20 cm or ISO B6 which are commonly used in my country) in Eastern European languages Quark produces poor hyphenation and justification. It takes very long time to eliminate manually all holes, rivers etc. I thing that an engine that counts more than one line at the time produces better composition, so it produces better typography.

    For me Quark is mainly typesetting program. I appreciate all new functions which were added in Quark 7 and 8. But I still miss a possibility to set a text using multi-line composer.

    P. S. Many designers (in Eastern Europe) switched to InDesign mainly for this reason but I do not want I like Quark.  

    Thanks
    Marek
