csv import keep text with text styles, bold, list, em, ...

[leboiss]

Hello all. I am using scribusGenerator to import data from a csv file. Is there a way to retain or add style to the text? I want to keep the text style like bold, list, underlined text... Maybe by using a script, using markdown or something?

Thanks for your work

Hello. AFAIK there's no easy way to add style in the imported text, since scribus uses it's own syntax for styled elements.

For lists I used to "simply" use manual linebreak and then nice-looking UTF symbols for bullets, such as any of https://www.utf8icons.com/subsets/miscellaneous-symbols-and-pictographs

There were attempts at a module that does import markdown, but I have no clue if/how it works: https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-plugin-gettext-markdown

if you found any solution that might integrate nicely with ScribusGenerator kindly lets us know !
