well, we can't make a closed source scribus to make them happy, sorry :-) > If someone wants to develop a pluging or something similar for ebook > production -- fine, but please concentrate on DTP/PDF. please tell me what *i* should do instead of spending time on that plugin. i'm really interested in hearing what your priorities are. not sure at all that i will be personally able to work on them, but i'm certainly interested in reading about them. finally, please consider, that for me is plugin has already been a wonderful chance for learning how text and formatting is treated in scribus... ciao a.l.e
