Text and Typography / Re: Formatting poetry
Last post by sersha - September 05, 2023, 01:38:34 PM
Thank you all who responded!
I did with tabs on second line, manually.
I also experimented with the second line indents and creating a style for that. It is better in a sense, but still a lot of manual work.
I am lazy! Thus looking for some sort of automated solution, like select a piece, apply a style or run a script and Voila! magic formatting happened!
But maybe it is not such a big deal, since rarely a poetry book is that huge... and it is easier to live with the manual setting of it.

did you try and change the indents?
it can be a little tricky, you have to type the values in, the slider things are a little janky.

The simple solution is maybe to add a tab at the start of every second line?

Greetings to all! I wonder, if anybody found the solution to properly indent a poetry piece of an arbitrary length. Like:

lineone line one line one
     linetwo line two line two
linethree line three line three
     linefour line four line four  ...and so on

I imagine creating a style with the second line indented, but that means you must apply it to every other line, which is still quite laborious with a longer piece. Maybe a script could be created for the purpose? Ideas, suggestions are very welcome!

hi nathan

yeah, it might then make sense to install the server with yunohost and then collect some experiences...

but without a statement from jean and/or craig i would not go on with this project (since the scribus code can already be got through git from both github and gitlab).

I've been using it daily for a few years now; with librewolf, I don't get a menu at all, I have the issue with Scribus, and there used to be an Inkscape bug that caused problems with it (now fixed) but those are the only issues I've had with it in all that time.

Wasnt sure about this, so i activated the global menu and started scribus.
This global menu doesnt seem ready for primetime. Had issues with scribus and waterfox as soon as it started. This probably needs more fine tuning before it will work without issues in all deployments of kde.


And yes it is a kde thing... it puts the application menu on a toolbar at the top of the screen like one finds in gnome.

I'm wondering if anyone else here uses Scribus with a global menu. I'm running it on EndeavourOS + KDE Plasma using a global menu, and I have a strange issue where menu dropdowns simply stop working after working for a while. To resolve the issue, I have to close and re-launch Scribus.
