Hi Tom,<br><br>This is really a great help for me. I am currently working on file exchange in scribus( XTags, IDML/INX import/export on Scribus). Your work will help me more in understanding the technique of Parsing documents.<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
I wrote a little (Java) program which demonstrates how SLA files can be<br>
parsed and edited with standard XML techniques:<br>

<br>
Perhaps it is useful for someone. As next step, I will try to<br>
encapsulate the SLA format as a Java library.<br>

Something we might imagine for the future, based on some comments/questions/requests we get on the ML, would be for someone to make a layout template in Scribus, then later be able to use Tom's or another parsing method to create Scribus documents based on that template along with other kinds of file input. This doesn't subsequently leave Scribus out of the picture, since some tweaking of the layout would likely be needed.<br>
<br>
For certain kinds of production environments, this would be a great enhancement. This might even be a bridge between the various Libre Graphics projects, so that, for example, one could be working in Inkscape then use a java method to make a Scribus doc from a template.<br>
