QuarkXpress 7 will be more open

By C.K. Sample, III

According to MacCentral, Quark, Inc. announced today that they will be releasing QuarkXpress 7 with more open standards: "QuarkXPress 7 will provide users with more design features, job-driven workflow capabilities and multi-channel publishing, according to the company."

No word on a release date or pricing, but the new version will feature new transparency functions, which Quark claims will handle transparency better "than other applications by managing opacity levels for any color element of an object rather than on an object-by-object basis."

I have a question: how many of you TUAW-readers out there still use Quark? I've more or less migrated fully over to InDesign, although I still use Quark for some typography bits. Will you grab QuarkXPress 7?
