If you want to make an A4 booklet wouldn't you want your pages to be A5 portrait, and arrange them next to each other?  Or just put some columns in an A4 landscape page?

Bug found and fixed, patch submitted.  See https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=17290

Incidentally when I was testing I found Ctrl++ was a default keyboard shortcut to zoom in but was not working; initially I thought was related until I realized I had to press shift to access the + or I was effectively pressing Ctrl+=.  The default shortcut should probably be changed to Ctrl+Shift++ if most keyboards have = under the +  :-X

If you have Scribus 1.7.0.svn installed (latest code from right now), it can now Save As to 1.5.8 format, as well as 1.7.0.svn's format. Note if you save as a 1.5.8 document.. and then hit save.. it will be back to 1.7.0.

Most likely the importer library needs to be updated to handle the latest version of open document standard.
now if you open a  LO document in scribus 1.4 and save it, then open that 1.4 sla in a newer version of scribus are the styles are linked to the correct paragraph?

Features / HTML import in text frame
Last post by Ribus - October 15, 2024, 06:42:00 PM
Hello,

For a long time now I use SCRIBUS - Terrific  8)

For many reasons, I have to separate words with " ¤ " before import html file. I use html because there the only way to get italic without work.

It works well, but I have a unknow problem, if in a line text change from normal to italic the last normal character is allways changed in italic.

In this case the coma after 2011 shows it.

Html
<p lang="fr-BE" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: -1.27cm; margin-left: 1.25cm; margin-bottom: 0.11cm">
<font size="2" style="font-size: 10pt">
<span lang="fr-FR">KOZOVOÏ ¤ Andreï, ¤ 2011, ¤ </span>
<span lang="fr-FR"><i>La ¤ Chute ¤ de ¤ l'Union ¤ soviétique ¤ (1982-1991)</i></span>
<span lang="fr-FR">, ¤ Paris, ¤ Taillandier. ¤ </span></font>

Scribus
KOZOVOÏ Andreï, 2011, La Chute de l'Union soviétique (1982-1991), Paris, Taillandier.

It is the same with "(" opening before ibid in italic

<SPAN LANG="fr-FR"> &curren; des &curren;argotismes &curren; seraient &curren; &agrave; &curren; combattre &curren;pour &curren; pr&eacute;server &curren; cette &curren; sup&eacute;riorit&eacute;
&curren; (</SPAN>
<SPAN LANG="fr-FR"><I>ibid., &curren; </I></SPAN>
<SPAN LANG="fr-FR">1983,&curren; p. &curren; 107).</SPAN>

des argotismes seraient à combattre pour préserver cette supériorité (ibid., 1983, p. 107).

I think that is an index in a loop but in html import.

Many thanks,
Richard

P.S. It is not urgently problem   ;D

Just a single A4, book fold, double sided. Basically a flyer, more than a folder, tbh.

Hey all,

\It's a shame there hasn't been a dev response. It would seem that if it worked in 1.4, the input modules from that might be able to be replaced?

At any rate, what is the best workflow at this point? I'm starting a long form (a few hundred page) book. It is written in LibreOffice and can be saved/exported in any format.

I'm assuming DOCX is the best from what is said above. But should I bother doing formatting in Libre, and which type? And what would be best left until after import into Scribus?

Much appreciated!
