Was the automation done using some kind of Scribus-supported layout format?
- JasonFruit 5y agoI'm honestly not quite sure what you're asking; there were a few (almost literally) stereotyped page layouts, which I was able to fill from a database, setting typefaces and sizes. That way, I got pages with the layout, tune image, and text, and I only had to adjust hyphenation to my liking and slug the text to fit the columns nicely.
- themodelplumber 5y agoDatabase --> ? --> Layout with data in it Could you clarify those middle steps? Or even just name the technologies or formats used. Thank you.
- JasonFruit 5y agoI see what you're asking. Scribus exposes an API (Scripter) that can do, though not everything Scribus' UI provides, a whole lot.
- timClicks 5y agoScribus uses XML as its native file format. So anything that can produce text can produce a file that can be understood by Scribus.
