Xclamation is a desktop publishing application designed for the personal publication of
documents with layouts too complex for simple word-processing software. It allows users to
arrange text, graphics, tables and other items according to their preference.
Page layouts are made up of frames. A frame is a pregnant geometric shape whose outline
delimits the visible portion of the object inside the frame part of a document, for
example.
There are two steps to creating an Xclamation document:
The user may still modify frame attributes after having placed an object inside the frame.
Xclamation has multi-document capabilities. It's possible to open more than one
document at a time, for example, in order to make exchanges between documents.
Xclamation also offers a text editor to help perfect its own texts and enhance imported ones. The editor can insert special characters like accent marks or symbols using various key-combinations. Il est également possible de rentrer des caractères spéciaux grâce à la boîte de dialogue 'Table des caractères'.
