I do most of my writing in Asciidoc and the asciidoctor processor outputs really nice epub3 (which needs tweaking because I haven't studied the CSS files used by asciidoctor [yet]). Of course, asciidoctor also can create PDF but the result is really not well suited for printing. Just because InDesign exports to epub3 doesn't mean Scribus should. I think it would be much more useful to IMPORT epub3, and probably easier to code, too, but "I am not a programmer." -- I'm Paraplegic Racehorse.
