Not yet. That has been requested a few times though and the cleanups and 
improvements in 1.3 should make it possible to add it pretty cleanly at 
some point in 1.3 development. I doubt it'd ever make 1.2.x though.

Document templates are the same as any other document; you can just open 
the template using the scripter, saveAs(...) and proceed as normal. I 
honestly don't recall re cloning a page - it'd certainly be good, but I 
don't recall if there's a way to do it from the scripter yet.

That's interesting. 1.2.x or 1.3 ? I haven't seen this myself, but I 
haven't been doing much with the scripter or with Scribus in general 
lately (too busy with uni and work).

Always good to hear.
