I am trying to help a user select an IBM-compatible product that
will permit him to create a lengthy scholarly multi-language work
involving the extensive annotation of whole texts. The texts are going
to be in Spanish, the annotations mostly in French; the ultimate placement
of the annotations must be flexible, i.e. the user is not sure yet if
he wants to display the original text as the main body of the printed
book, with the annotations as footnotes/endnotes, or adopt a multi-column
format (column 1 = text, column 2 = annotations), or even use an alter-
nating line arrangement, where lines of annotations appear above the
text they refer to (and presumably in a different typeface). It does
have to work on an IBM-compatible platform, otherwise the user is willing
to try anything. Any ideas?
