Subject: [scribus-dev] Expose Get Vector File in the Python API
Message-ID: <CALnHwt_B79GnGFKa7PvfJ0O9U6rbOvAbU87JEPi-B1d24wRFMw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I would like to use the Python program Textext to enter LaTeX equations in
Scribus, just like I do in Inkscape. The only thing that is needed for it
to work is to be able to import the generated equation as a vector file. I
looked in the source code (master branch) and this functionality does not
seem to be exposed in the Python API.

If you could tell me how to do it, I would be happy to experiment with it.
If it is complicated, I hope that it gets included in some 1.5.x release.

I am aware of the render frame tool that enables including LaTeX fragments,
but it is sub-optimal for the purpose of inserting LaTeX equations. I
prefer to use a tool that has been developed for that purpose for circa 10
years.

Best regards,
Marduk

Subject: [scribus-dev] adding linking to pdf links
Message-ID: <b6154102-e9b8-a57b-56c8-bac3dc016635@gmail.com>

hi Scribus developers,

I just put up a patch that implements an idea: add the ability to link 
objects to PDF links.? I hope this doesn't exist already... ;)

Anyway, so what it does is add some code to the pdflib_core file.? It 
looks for an attribute called "ltarget".? If it finds it the code looks 
for the Object in the document that has a name that is the attribute's 
value.? If found it calculates the objects position in the document and 
uses that position for the link.? I hope that makes sense.

I've had luck testing the idea so far.? The pdf I've been generating 
uses the "ltarget" links and links that don't use it. Both are working.

I thought this might be a good idea as frequently in documents I want 
links to jump to a certain object and the documents change often.? This 
is supposed to make it easier to alter documents without having to fix 
links at the same time.
