[Scribus]

[bart at solozone.com]

FYI the March 2004 LINUX JOURNAL has two interesting pieces on xml formats. It seems OO uses a 'zip' format which is very interesting so the file is really an assembly of items separate as files but which coalesce to form the whole. Ruby can be used to manipulate OO docs, by extension, scribus. I see OASIS as the coming standard. Question: even SIAG gets a mention, but not Scribus! Somebody please tell them.

I attach, intrigued by the Story Editor postings, a file. I wrote a text box automatically and put another in the center to show run around on both sides (quark has problems with both sides I think; although I have not used it since 4.1.1, a while back). Getting from one box to the next was not so easy; one uses the "save and Exit" feature in Story Editor! The attachment is self explanatory I hope.
