There is, apparently, no automated TeX/LaTeX rendering or authoring support in Scribus at this time. Watch: Issue 0000128: TeX rendering engine http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=128 Issue 0003698: LaTeX import http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=3698 Until one or both issues are solved in one form or another, I recommend to your client LyX or similar for direct TeX/LaTeX editing. That, or write a Scribus plug-in adding LaTeX support. :) -- Faster than a speeding slug! I'm Paraplegic Racehorse.
