I bought this book and have the same opinion. Well done, with nice tactile feeling too. The author is pleasant to communicate with.

Layout Issues / Alternating Left-Right page fo...

I have created a .pdf attached of what I'm trying to find and I hope Scribus will allow me to create. I would like to create a template/theme where each left side page of a book has a column of text situated closer to the spine, thus its right side, and each right facing frame has its text on the spine side, or left of the page.

Like a program I had many years ago, I'd like to be able to drag an image over the pasted text and have the text automatically move aside and reformat the remaining text pages.

Please tell me it is so!

A little bit better: Going by way of .docx. Still not getting the graphic separators; I can put them in by hand if I have to but I'd really like to find a way to automate that. Especially for my own books, I use a lot of "short cuts" when I write.

By The Way, what's this thing about Scribus putting auto-generated text frames all the way down at the bottom of the screen, not associated with any page?

All right, a little bit better this time, but I still lose every bit of the formatting, including the small caps at the start of each section, the separators, the indents, and more. Might as well just start from square one with a raw .txt file. I was hoping to not have to duplicate efforts.

I don't see how you're doing that, then, because this is what I get:

I think that it should not be too hard to go from the .xhtml to an .html that can be read by Scribus...

I gave the first entry in

https://idpf.github.io/epub3-samples/30/samples.html

a try and downloaded

https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples/blob/main/30/accessible_epub_3/EPUB/ch01.xhtml

renamed it to .html, and Scribus could happily load it into a text frame.
