<p>Earlier I sent the following reply to only one correspondent.
Sorry for the slipup now corrected. <br>

<p>I write from the sidelines here since I am not a regular user of
Scribus. However this topic seems to fall under the heading of
dynamic changes and I do have an interest in <i>composing</i>
Scribus documents other than through the usual GUI.</p>
<p>Now the Scribus script ScribusGenerator serves the purpose of
editing Scribus to include variables. The example cited is making
dynamic templates of business cards but I find that
ScribusGenerator can be used in a broader context to dynamically
change document attributes. Follow the video tutorial by the
script author.<br>
</p>
<p>On a broader front (outside using Scripter) I have experimented
with creating dynamic Scribus documents (from a local PHP server)
by regarding the *.sla document as XML and processing XML in PHP.
That works nicely and involves adding a custom PHP mime type so
that PHP statements can be embedded into the Scribus document for
processing. I can point to other uses of this method I
researched. For example embedded SVG files (also XML) can be so
edited.<br>
</p>
<p>Just some more options to consider.</p>
