Scribus xhtml using Scripter: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:22, 3 October 2016

This article is part of the Scripts series.

Why not just do this straight up to xhtml with Scripter? Well, why not?

This might serve as a quick way to get the content to a format easily importable to an ePub editor like Sigil.

Don't forget the siblings: Scribus XML using Scripter and Scribus files as XML.
