The current file format, called SLA, is [[XML]]. Old versions of SLA were based on XML. Text can be imported from [[OpenDocument]] (ODT) text documents (such as from [[LibreOffice]] Writer), [[OpenOffice.org XML]] ([[OpenOffice.org]] Writer's SXW files), [[Microsoft Word]]'s [[Doc (computing)|DOC]], [[PDB (Palm OS)|PDB]], and [[HTML]] formats (although some limitations apply). ODT files can typically be imported along with their paragraph styles, which are then created in Scribus. HTML tags which modify text, such as '''bold''' and ''italic'', are supported. Word and PDB documents are only imported as plain text.<ref>https://wiki.scribus.net/wiki/images/9/93/Scribus-specs-152.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>
ScribusGenerator is a [[mail merge]]-like extension to Scribus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/berteh/ScribusGenerator|title=berteh/ScribusGenerator|date=25 April 2021|via=GitHub}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://berteh.github.io/ScribusGenerator/|title=ScribusGenerator|website=ScribusGenerator}}</ref>
Line 76:
Scribus cannot read or write the native file formats of other DTP programs such as [[QuarkXPress]] or [[InDesign]]; the developers consider that [[reverse engineering]] those file formats would be prohibitively complex and could risk legal action from the makers of those programs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Why_Scribus_doesn't_support_QuarkXpress_and_other_major_publishing_applications|title=Why Scribus doesn't support QuarkXpress and other major publishing applications - Scribus Wiki|website=wiki.scribus.net|language=en|access-date=2018-09-11}}</ref>
Due to licensing issues, the software package does not include support for the [[Pantone Matching System|Pantone color matching system (PMS)]], which is included in some commercial DTP applications. Pantone colors can be obtained and incorporated within Scribus without licensing issues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_legally_obtain_spot_colour_palettes_for_use_in_Scribus_1.3.3.x_and_later_versions|title=How to legally obtain spot colour palettes for use in Scribus 1.3.3.x and later versions - Scribus Wiki|website=wiki.scribus.net|language=en|access-date=2018-09-11}}</ref> Scribus is shipped with more than 100 color palettes, most donated by various commercial color vendors, but also including scientific, national, and government color standards.
===Forthcoming Scribus 1.6 (by way of Scribus 1.5 development branch)===
Line 87:
Scribus 1.5.6 supports native pdf export with embedded open type fonts and pdf 1.6. Python 3 is now default in scripts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://w.scribus.net/wiki/index.php/1.5.6.1_Release|title=1.5.6.1 Release - Scribus|website=w.scribus.net}}</ref>
Scribus 1.5.7 improves undo and redo action. Qt 5.14 is new base for compilation and 3rd party components have newer versions.
Next version is 1.5.8 as perhaps last step before 1.6.0.
From view of developers Version 1.5.7 is stable. There are no new Versions in pipe with Backports for the 1.4 tree with the near end of QT4 support in most systems.
