Scribus' format is XMLish already, so I hope this kind of thing is not too hard :) However, I feel that it would make more sense to have a equation editor that writes out MathML, or an illustration editor that writes out SVG, and for Scribus to simply import/embed these formats. Perhaps tweaking them is a scribus user's job, and worth having an interface to, but such 'separation of concerns' is important to reduce duplicated programming effort, imo :) ...unless an emacs-style ScribusOS is at the end of the roadmap, ahah ;) -- Regards, dave
