-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Congratulations to the Scribus team on 1.2 coming out. I can't wait to see instructions for building it on Fink/OS X. =)
I'm also very excited about the styled text import. For me, that's the major "killer app" feature that Scribus doesn't yet have. A lot of book production houses do their editing/styling in a word processor, then flow the styled text with style sheets into Quark or InDesign--it's much more efficient than editing in the layout program. Even if the text import is limited to OpenOffice.org format--which I imagine wouldn't be as difficult as supporting MS Word or RTF--that would be more than adequate, as OpenOffice Writer could function very nicely as a styled text editor. I've used it in this fashion for actual typesetting of some of the poetry books I publish--the text formatting is pretty lightweight. (Side question: what impact will the new rich text capabilities of Qt 4 have on Scribus? Has there been any discussion of this?) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBJmB/F6m9qPmThLQRAsw4AJ9bOcGk4920bKjALLPK9d3esDvC0ACfYdBF ZyAdPifM6asth6sHd1D4Y+0= =Loh4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
