On the surface, it would seem that since Scribus's native files are XML 
or XML-like, this should be possible.

The difficulty is that, since it involves precise layout, translating 
this to HTML where layout typically is more flexible and relative is not 
intuitively easy.

There is, of course, the possibility of creating a graphics file output 
of pages that might meet some purposes.
