What I was referring to was the ability to use XML transoformations, _outside_ of scribus, to operate on Scribus's XML document format. All sorts of things would be possible that way, so long as the new format still validated, and it'd be a possible avenue for writing document "downgraders" to permit Scribus 1.(x-1) to open Scribus 1.x documents. That wouldn't work for 1.2.x -> 1.3.x/1.4.x though, as the current 1.2.x format (still used in 1.3.x until the new one is ready) is not XML processor friendly. >>Yep, well, part of the reason for the major format re-write is to /make/ >>a format that you can throw XSLT at and otherwise mangle and transform. >> >>-- >>Craig Ringer >> >> >_______________________________________________ >Scribus mailing list >Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de >http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus > >
