Ventura, Corel’s venerable desktop publishing (DTP) tool, has traditionally come a poor third after QuarkXPress and Adobe’s InDesign. Rather than attempt to replicate the features of its rivals, Corel has aimed this new version of Ventura at organisations interested in making XML their main format for content creation. With the acquisition of SoftQuad last year, Corel absorbed XMetaL 3.0, an XML authoring tool. This version of Ventura offers integration with XMetaL to enable you to build a workflow incorporating both content creation and publishing.
