You could release some Perl script which as an argument loads a file
you reformat as you wish then writes text using PCS.
Take a look at /usr/lib/gimp/x.x/plug-ins/*.pl ....

Objet : my magazine project
Hello everybody,
my project is the production of a small school magazine. I'd like to make
it look good. Previous versions of the magazine were done in Microsoft Word
(eek!) :-)
It's not the graphics bit that worries me, I don't have much exprerience but
I've read the manual and I like to experiment.
What I'm looking for is ideas on arranging text. I suppose I could get text
rendered on different layers, then move them about until I get a decent
result.
BUT: GDyntext doesn't seem to Justify the paragraphs it produces. (I'd like
to get left-aligned text without the jazzy edges of text produced by lines
of variable length)
I've inserted text by means of a PostScript (groff made) file before, but
I've re-installed Linux since and last night it refused to work (file
displayed fine in gv). Is there potential down this path?
Assuming I solve the problem of rendering text from txt files in a way that
allows me to freely arrange the text on a page, could I then make the edge
of a paragraph wrap around something I've drawn?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanx in advance.
Michael
