you seem to be following

https://github.com/fundevogel/we-love-colors

after having done `pip install farben" in the terminal, you can then run `farben` as a "command" in the same terminal, as described in

https://github.com/fundevogel/we-love-colors#getting-started

you probably need to carefully read the whole README file on github to understand how to use `farben` (and also learn a bit how to use the terminal / console).

good luck!

Hi. Newbie here. First time I have contact with Python. I'm having difficulty running farben.

I installed Python on the Desktop. I ran the command "pip install farben". Afterwards, I couldn't move forward with anything else. No commands worked.

Sorry, but I'm completely lost.

QuoteIntegration between Inkscape and other TDP software (including Scribus) could be a useful approach.
[Moderation: The quote above is from a spam post that has been deleted]

What sort of integrations do you have in mind? I've often wished that something like Adobe CC's Libraries existed for FLOSS creative software; specifically, I would find syncing character, paragraph, and object styles, swatches, and vector and raster assets, between Scribus, Inkscape, Krita and Kdenlive incredibly useful. I have a feeling that even making synced assets interoperable would be tricky though, and then there's the matter of actually syncing (although maybe this could be left for the user to figure out using git, syncthing, nextcloud, or whatever).

The trick to get it working: Open in story editor and add one empty line before the title.

General Discussion / Use tabs for docments

From what I can tell, when using tabs for documents, there doesnt seem to be a option to only show the document name and not the full path and name, or am I missing that options somewhere?

Layout Issues / Re: 5-Fold Document - HowTo ?

A quick hack would be to place a text frame with 6 columns on the page, how many columns you would need  ;)

Isn't this just the issue that space before paragraph does not apply for the first paragraph in the frame? (I am not sure if that is how it works, but it sounds like it could be.)

Using text properties it's not a very sleek option for a book with many chapters. If indeed this is a bug my post could maybe function as a reminder.BDHDCM

looks like that isn't a variable for a style
F3 Content Properties has a setting for that under Columns & Text Distances

it does seem like the styles could use some development, imho there should be a frame tag/style, but I'm happy to use Scribus the way the developers make it

Text and Typography / Paragraph styles
Last post by Bolean - September 10, 2023, 12:19:58 PM
Found some inconsistency when creating a chapter heading style. In the Alignment and Distances section the "space above" settings doesn't seem to work (no result in the document) while the "space below" works as expected.
I would like the heading start at a distance from the top and give a distance down to the body text.
