I have written a custom database program for classified ads that currently outputs HTML-formatted text. Nothing too fancy: Set and unset boldface and underlining, set font, set font size, set and unset centering.
I have been importing this HTML file into OpenOffice to generate a classified ad newspaper. The HTML formatting above allows me to have the headings centered and in a different font than the actual advertisements. I see that there was some mention of RTF text importing into Scribus quite some time ago. Did that ever go anywhere? Has there been any consideration given to importing HTML-formatted text? Is there any other way to get pre-formatted text into Scribus? Or am I stuck with creating a plain text output from my database, importing that into Scribus, then going through it manually to set the heading fonts and so on. I can output any file format that works from my database, I suppose, as long as I know what that format is.
