If I could define some elements of text formatation (fonts, paragraphs, pages, columns, tables, and others) in a appropriate field in the Story Editor (or anywhere else, like menu edit styles), linking them to markup symbols, then I could write a text in another word processor with markup and Scribus could apply the text formatation associated with each markup symbol  in a automatic way.

Is there any reason for not adding this script to 1.4.7svn and 1.5.3svn?
