Scripting in Scribus refers to the usage of a short program, written in Python in order to automate various tasks. This might be used to carry out a sequence of operations on one or more objects in your document, including creating those objects if necessary. Scripts can also be used to create a document from scratch, and thus would be an alternative to using a template to recreate some set layout, including creating and using the styles needed for the document.

You might start by reviewing the scripts which are included with your Scribus distribution. As of the 1.5.x versions of Scribus, you have the following included scripts, found and used by selecting from the menu, Scripter > Scribus Scripts:

  • Align_image_in_frame
  • Autoquote
  • Autoquote2
  • CalendarWizard
  • Caption
  • color2csv
  • ColorChart
  • csv2color
  • DirectImageImport
  • FontSample
  • Importcsv2table
  • InfoBox
  • LigaturSatz
