I would suggest that articles, bulletins etc, be
available so that they can be read by adobe reader on
the user end. It seems to be the standard for web info
and the reader is automatically download once and fro
then you can read most sites. Since Quark is owned by
Adobe conversion should be easy.In-Design is newr but
I would bet Adobe reader compatible.
