Hi,
There is already an indirect way to do latex2sla: (1) latex->RTF (see http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/) (2) RTF->SXW (use openoffice writer) This can be turned into command-line rtf2sxw utility. (I think there is also tex4ht tool that even can do direct conversion sxw format). Openoffice SXW format can then be opened imported as text-stream using Get Text within OpenOffice. Problems: (1) Tables don't work. Quoting from a later e-mail: "First, Scribus' table features are quite rudimentary at the moment and tables do not work very well. This will be rewritten in 1.3x." (2) Maths don't work. You need to bring them in as EPS strip-ins through dvips -e option as the OpenOffice math equations are themselves of poor quality (although they support advanced unicode cut and paste features features which none of the commercial or non-commercial math package do). I think some more work in Scribus is required before these things can work perfectly. Suki
