Right. I had a draft response to Timo, but this is much more succinct. In essence, I don't see the workflow being iterative between Scribus and the web, or whatever the collaborative environment is. It's iterative for a while... and then it goes to Scribus to be laid out. In essence, that would define away workflow issues. > That might be possible once Scribus uses XML+restricted CSS for storing text I had no idea this was actually in the works. I've been mulling it over, and even brought it up when Scribus was around version 0.9 -- why not make heavy use of CSS? It's predefined, and easily convertible, because it separates content and design... or not, if you need to use inline CSS. It's not at the level of Scribus yet, but it does more than you might expect: kerning, page breaks, widows and orphans, drop caps, page sizes, and more. CSS3 will do columns, automated page counters, line breaks, word breaks, drop shadows, downloadable fonts, page orientation, left vs. right page... -- Steve Herrick Que si las manos son nuestras Es nuestro lo que nos den - Victor Jara
