nice to see you working on this! just one thing: it would be nice if -- while discovering how the .sla works -- you could contribute it in a way that is compatible with the pseudo DTD i'm compiling: https://github.com/impagina/core/blob/master/documentation/sla_15.dtd the easiest way is to fork the repository, start a new branch and then make pull requests... or just give me a link to some similar document you're compiling... (btw, if there is any good reason, i can also switch to another representation of the .sla structure... i'm not a fan of DTDs... but it would be nice -- at some time -- to be able to validate the scribus files: at least for what concerns their formal correctness!) have a nice weekend a.l.e
