Probably the advance to the next stable release will happen before Scripter-NG gets expanded. What Henning Schr?der has done is to set up a more easy way to add commands: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/GSoC_2008_Accepted_Applications#.3D_ScripterNG_-_a_new_scripting_plug-in_for_Scribus > I understand your point but the situation is the following: > > I am writing a script to import wiki tekst files into scribus.

You might contact Christoph Sch?fer to ask how he managed. I think what he did was to import the wiki text to openoffice.org, where he applied styles, then imported to Scribus.
I think he said that openoffice.org has a wiki import feature. Another method might be by using tagged text to create filters for applying styles: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Laying_out_articles Greg
