Although I haven't been able to find all the bits, there is some minimal
markdown in Scribus that get used to make the information tabs in About
Scribus ... using plain text files as input.

thanks for the hint!

i've found
http://scribus.net/svn/Scribus/trunk/Scribus/scribus/ui/about.cpp ...
and i noticed a long comment by myself explaining how the about file
get's read...

i've had a fast look at the code and it looks like it's a mixture of
parsing line by line and a set of replaces.

not 100% what i need but i'll have a deeper look.

i've also alread had a look at the formatted text loader (line by line,
also with some regexp) and the html importer (which uses a real --
existing -- xml parser...).

we will see how far i get!

ciao
a.l.e

Don't know if it is what you are looking for, but maybe you can use what
pandoc provides?

hi joop

no, i don't think that pandoc is the right tool for this case.

what it could provide, is a conversion to a format that scribus already
knows (html, odt).

but -- afaik -- those plugins do not work in a way that i can describe
as sane. or, at least, i have never managed to get them to work in a
way that was sensible to me!

on top of it, using pandoc would make scribus depend on pandoc, which
is not something i want, either.

i got some hints on the #qt irc channel, and tomorrow i'll try to work
