No. There's been talk of an HTML export plugin, but there are a variety of issues that make it harder than you'd think (and less useful). Scribus is designed for exact positioning and sizing of elements. HTML on the other hand has to be viewable on many different sizes of screens with different browsers, different font sizes, etc, so it tends to be less exact about where everything goes. It's possible to make HTML that is always locked to exact positions and sizes, but it's generally a bad idea as people with very high or low detail displays and people with limited vision find it very hard to handle. Additionally, Scribus's text features cannot be reproduced in HTML. There's no way to control kerning in HTML, and the user-agent expects to do its own justification & text flow. Working around these issues would probably involve writing downright awful HTML that absolutely positions every character individually - and explodes into an unreadable mess when viewed with non-default font sizes. If you want to publish Scribus-designed content, I'd recommend putting up a PDF. If you're just looking for a web page editor I don't think Scribus is what you are looking for. -- Craig Ringer
