Contrairement aux systèmes de composition spécialisés, les systèmes d’édition comportent généralement des postes de travail et font appel à des logiciels qui facilitent grandement la manipulation des copies(par exemple, les touches de fonction permettant de délimiter, de déplacer ou de supprimer des blocs de texte de tailles différentes). Un système d’édition comporte souvent un système de composition permettant de formater des documents en vue de leur composition au poste de travail. Lorsque le manuscrit peut être composé, il est envoyé électroniquement au système de composition. L'épreuve peut être produite à l'écran ou sur support papier. 3, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9dition
