Introduction

Scribus is an Open Source DTP (Desktop Publishing) application for Linux and other flavors of Unix and Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X , and Windows 2000 or later, as well as OS/2 / eComStation / ArcaOS. This Wiki has been created in order to give users a place to put HOWTOs, tips or ideas on using or enhancing Scribus. Large parts of the documentation available here have been contributed by Scribus users. However, as of December 2010, the Scribus wiki also hosts “official” documents provided by the Scribus Team. Not surprisingly, these are labelled “Official”. The content of the Scribus Help Browser, another set of “official” documents, is also available on the wiki.
