Certainly not, unless the author is also the typographer, which is
uncommon.

The content, not the presentation.

Stephane,
you refer yourself only to a short period of 500 years, mostly in Western Europe. The computer assisted writing, restores that right. The architext container restores and extend many possibilities in that area. Typography is a part of the presentation. Even in the French early XXth century poestry this was the case (cf. Apollinaire).
