[scribus] I am new to Scribus: interested to know if Scribus has options for automatically creating references, index, footnotes, endnotes, bibliography, glossary based on my inputs

[Silvain Dupertuis]

If you need an index with reference to pages,
I doubt that it will be easy or even possible with Scribus

Personally, I would rather use a text editor like LibreOffice
Then, if you need fancy formatting around your text,
and/or printer-ready PDF of the book with cropmarks,
it would be possible to place pages into Scribus
as PDF exported from LibreOffice...

For the main body of your book, you would presumably have a series of pages with the frames linked from one page to the next, and your text imported from a file. You could then add one or more pages to the end with text frames into which you load your index list from a file.
