From an AI anwer to a nice formated Scribus Table.

[founder]

Just writing a long manual for my PEGE energy sim open-source software.
Many times "Text proposal for the manual about" and to copy and edit the AI answer.
But what to do in the case of a table?
Copying text for each table cell, formatting around for an hour?
Screenshot shows my first inserted table.
Was not so perfect at the first attempt, but the script has an edit function.
After about 3 edits adjusting the column width and lines, it was in this form.

The development version has entirely new table formatting, copy paste etc features. Check out https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/1.7.4_Release for more information.

[a.l.e]

I could not check Grok, since it does not give any reply to unregistred people.

Then I've asked ChatGPT to give me a table with the names of Snow White's dwarfs in English, Italian, and German, and put them in a table.

I could not copy paste the table into Scribus.

But I could paste it into LibreOffice and from there copy pasted it into Scribus 1.7svn.

The result was what I expected and I just needed to tweak the width of the table and of the columns.

Anyway, with Scribus 1.7, you will probably create your table in LibreOffice Calc or Writer and then paste it into Scribus.
No Grok needed.

And we're not that far, to have Scribus to behave just as well as Writer for filling a table!

Of course, if you have data to get into the table, I would probably create a simple Python script that reads CSV and use that format to import the data into an existing table.
No Grok needed either.
