[Scribus] Looking for certain scripting functions

[Eilert]

Hi,

thanks for the link. But even here, I can't find something useful for 
this kind of work.

>>the website and wondered if there is a GetParagraphText() and a 
>>GetParagraphStyle() function or something like that enabling me to

>>these texts. Very easy if you have such functions for that.

Not so easy to implement such functions, or not so easy to apply them?

My idea was just to make two loops:

browse all frames
	browse all paragraphs
		if paragraph's style == theOneI'mLookingFor
			getText of this paragraph
			getPageNumber of this frame
			add as new entry to table of contents

I have no idea how styles and paragraphs are stored in Scribus, but once 
you have a getParagraphStyle() and getParagraphText() and a way of 
jumping from one frame to the next and from one paragraph to the next, 
what else would you need?

:-) What's LoC? Why workaround?

Yes, time... :-) But that's the advantage over commercial software. So 
many projects have been spoiled by an impatient marketing - best example 
is $THEBIGEVAL in Redmond :-)
