Hello,

I use Scribus for many years now. I use to work on text with different languages in it, cyrillique and other. Sometime the russian words are all together in a single one 55 letters word. I want allso that iltalic words gose through the process.

To be safe with it I use a macro WORD to separate all words with ¤ in source WORD file Windows and replace a lot off characters like space in unsecable space and so on. Then I export Word.doc in html through LibreOffice.

Then import in a text frame in Scribus.
Then cleaning the frame with a script. With 1 or 2 pages it works, but with a 10 pages it is possible that script never stop.
Is it a problem between Scribus and Python version.

Thanks, for Help.
Richard

Paul's suggestion is a good one: it should probably be a separate tool.

Doing it that way, would be "not that hard"...

I guess that the most tedious part is to create a DTD of the .sla file format (and keep it up to date).
This is a work (almost) anybody with basic computer skills can do.
Once this is done, it should not be hard to create a tool that handles the differences (https://manpages.org/dtddiff is a Linux tool that can be used for that...)

In most cases, the .sla format only changes by additions. Sometimes behavior can change without the file format being changed (and such a tool could warn about it).

And, having a DTD of the .sla could really help for creating other tools that work "correctly" on Scribus files...

In fairness it's not a terrible idea/request, but implementing it would require someone with some time and a (lot of) attention to detail to track any changes to the file format. You would have to work out backwards compatible changes, how to "safely" lose properties and attributes when downgrading, and much more.

QuarkXPress has a separate version update tool. Perhaps Nairo you could consider making something similar if this is an issue for you?

I know in QXP there's a trick if you hold down certain keyboard keys when opening an older file it triggers some different actions and reflows; perhaps we could have something similar with Scribus to side-step the file version check and hope for the best, but that could cause crashes and YMMV.

Bonjour,

Je l'avais fait avec une version précédente et je suis incapable de le reproduire avec la version 1.6.2.
Comment commencer la numérotation des pages à 1, après la couverture ?
J'ai appliqué un gabarit couverture sans numéro de page, puis des gabarits page gauche et droite numérotés. Mais la numérotation commence à la page 2.
Merci d'avance.
Yves
