[scribus] First Line Offset

[ZASKE Martin]

I know exactly what you are talking about.

When I made an entire book in 2017, I used a power-editor and went into
the XML and used some search and replace to change all First Line
Offsets. In our case I was lucky and could change ALL of them, so
setting it up only took a few minutes.


You should look out inside the document.sla for a


<PAGEOBJECT blablabla settings with your <StoryText> your stuff here

In the list of settings, look for FLOP.

I have marked the FLOP (maybe First Line Offset Property) in the example
below and you got the same options as in the GUI, starting with 0
(Maximum Ascent) so FLOP="2" should give you "Line spacing".


If you are comfortable with this type of mild hacking, you can get a lot
done in Scribus. Scribus is stable with such editing, I never had
unexpected side-effects so far. I would just recommend to close the
document in Scribus, while you edit the .sla file and to pull a
back-up-copy every time before you hack the XML.




<PAGEOBJECT XPOS="1061.4" YPOS="84.6" OwnPage="0" ItemID="156530640"
