And how do I get just the help files? I already have Scribus
installed, I don't want to remove it and build it from scratch,
especially as that means that I'm not going to get automatic updates
as they become available.
I don't think you are going to get the Help files separately.
They were copyrighted but the current copyright provisions allow packaging the
doco (at least in the Scribus-170 docs)
Your best bet is to build Scribus into a home directory and extract the help
files from that.
I'm also using Fedora 35, and for a long time they refuse to put the
documentation in with Scribus -- some religious exception to its not being free
from any copyrights.
I just tried to copy the documentation to /usr/share/scribus/ and still got the
message about missing documentation when running Fedora's version of Scribus.
A possible workaround if you're willing to go to the bother:
Set up a localhost if you haven't already -- the first starts httpd, the second
makes sure it starts when you boot your computer in future.
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
Next, copy the en directory from an intact Scribus download to your localhost:
sudo cp -r ~/Scribus15x/doc/en /var/www/html/
To access this manual, use your browser and point it to
localhost/en/menu.xml
The reason this works is that some time ago I put a file scribus-manual.xsl
into the doc/en folder, and added a pointer to it in menu.xml
You might wonder why you need to bother with localhost. The reason is that some
time ago Firefox stopped allowing access to html files in your computer's user
directories.
