Hi Paul,

Among the Campsite developers we've always talked about integrating 
Campsite with print output - something that for better or worse has been 
called the Supercontentor. It wouldn't be difficult to create templates in 
Campsite that would output articles with Xpress Tags (.xtg) or other 
similar formatting elements, but it gets a lot more complicated when going 
back the other way, especially when an article is up on the flats, gets 
corrected and then needs to be input back into the database; such a 
'roundtrip' mechanism doesn't exist for Campsite as yet, although it's 
been high on our wish list for quite some time.

Personally, I expect this will get a lot easier now that Campsite is 
moving toward a proper API for handling articles. We'll see how this 
develops. And of course, if you're interested in pursuing this, we'd 
welcome the help.

Can anyone advise on how to take content from Campsite for use in page 
layout for a print publication.  What is the approporate page layout 
program, eg. Adobe Indesign?  Can content changes introduced in print page 
layout be reflected in the campsite content? How is this done?
