| Summary | 0003621: [OBSOLETE] Metabug: COSS text importer update | ||||
| Description | I'll group all the issues related to COSS (http://www.coss.fi/en/) sponsored text import work here + some additional text import related issues I'm gonna work on in the near future. Most of these issues will be resolved in three months starting from the beginning of June. There's the original work plan attached (in Finnish) ps_scribus.pdf. Some more discussion over the ideas can be found from the mailing list thread http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2006-April/016854.html | ||||
| Additional Information | Project plan ============ ============ Foreword ======== bla bla bla Project outline =============== bla bla bla Plugin interface for text importer plugins ------------------------------------------ Plugin interface is ment to be a simple api for coders to build file format importers for Scribus. It will be acting in between the plugins and Scribus' core text handling code. Interface will allow two types of plugins to be written with it. The most common type of plugin is a regular file format importer plugin. This type of plugin will convert an external file format into a Scribus understandable format and will be used for example when importing text from a text file, OpenDocument Text file... The second type of plugins, the api will make possible, is plugins that will work on the formatting and text of the document that is currently being imported. To make these two plugin types possible plugin handling system will need to allow piping of plugins. Ie. one can direct the output of a file importer plugin to a style/text handling plugin. One situation where this could be used is for example when removing all formatting from an ODT file. The flow for such a setup is presented in the following picture. ODT --> Scribus ODT importer --> Style remover plugin --> Scribus text frame Another possible use case for a plugin chain like this is when the person responsible for the layout wants to remap the styles present in for example OpenOffice.org document to ones in the Scribus Document. Then one would direct the output of the ODT-importer to the style remampping plugin which is presented in the next picture. [insert pic 2 here] bla bla bla Plain text files ---------------- bla bla bla OpenDocument Text files ----------------------- bla bla bla Text and Style Filters ---------------------- Text and style filters will allow search and replace type of actions on the text and styles of the imported document. This plugin will only work when piped with a file importer plugin. The most important features it will offer are search and replace for text, search and replace for styles and style application based on user defined tags.
