Aim Of This Project

This project aims at the enhancement of the Text Filter in Scribus so that it can import XPress Tags, XTags, InDesign Exchange Files, InDesign Snippets, plain XML etc., to create a new dialog widget that can handle the global preferences for import/export of these XML based file formats. It will also implement a new UI for the Text Filter to make it more flexible and consistent with other Scribus dialogs.
