[OS X TeX] TeXDesign ?

[Adam M. Goldstein]

This looks like a deep question to me---but I can't follow!

Is there a particular problem you're facing or an aim you're working  
toward?

I wonder if something like LyX is what you are looking for.

Is there really any advantage to using InDesign for control of  
layouts? I would think that with TeX you have as much control as is  
possible, except that one has to learn to program it, whereas a  
graphically oriented interface to the document may be more easily  
picked up by experimentation, if one is already familiar with similar  
tools.

Are you aiming to produce print manuscripts, or something like a  
poster or flyer, or a catalog of photos?
