<p>I only spotted this post by chance, buried in my email box.</p>
<p>This line of research I have followed for some time.</p>
<p>In ScribusGenerator I parked my ideas in post #7 in this
thread:-</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<p>As I wrote above, ScribusGenerator script can be evolved to
draw down (PHP include) assets into SLA elements from a CRUD
(PHP + DB) rather than csv. But understand that with this
approach the csv holds links to DB and PHP snippets <i>in a
second level of abstraction</i>.<br>
</p>
<p>carto.net was the inspiration (I read it quite some years ago).</p>
<p>But a heck of a lot of studying/hacking is required, hacking
mime types and the like. I have tried to document the workflow I
use in Ubuntu. The configuration can be scripted.<br>
