[Suggestion] DTP editor like Microsoft Publisher #587

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Feature suggestion: With the latest release, Only Office has a very extensive set of tools to manipulate documents, charts, images, etc. How about adding another editor with a UI focused on publishing tasks? Something like Microsoft Publisher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Publisher).

It could probably use much of the same code as the current Document Editor but with some changes to default settings and user interface. As far as I know there is no other online-based application of this type, so this would be a first - a very unique selling point. It could serve as a perfect middle ground between a word processor and something really advanced like Scribus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribus) or InDesign.

@Imerion Thanks for you idea, it's pretty interesting, but I don't think we currently have enought manpower to implement another one editor
