We understand that the Scripter via Python. As I mentioned initially, we uses XML for typesetting in InDesign application. InDesign helps in in preserving XML as below. For example,</font></div>

<div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The biggest advantage of InDesign here is, InDesign preserves XML as is. The [1] and [2] process is managed outside of InDesign, but not [3] and [4]. Does Scribus supports [3] an [4] process? This question is really the deciding factor for me.</font></div>
