- Personally, whenever it's seemed appropriate to edit an .sla
file in a text editor, I've found the experience rather
daunting. Even a fairly simple scribus-mode for Emacs would
be useful, so I don't think this would be a hard project to
get off the ground.
What I do is replace spaces with newlines. There are a few places where
this makes a small mess, such as font names and coordinates for objects,
but it makes the whole thing easy to read, and a regexp or two could
even skip over the coordinates. For me, not having everything jammed
onto single lines made an immediate difference.
