The Page Layout Turf Wars

Typographic Refinements

Another important innovation is in typographic control. QuarkXpress has a single-line composition engine and automatically adjusts the kerning and letter spacing on a line-per-line basis.

With InDesign’s multi-line composer, the best possible linebreaks and hyphenations now are possible across multiple lines and paragraphs. Consider also the optical margin alignment that supports hanging punctuation, and you can see why InDesign will delight any typography purist.
