Follow links across linked text frames so as to apply the action to a whole set of linked text frames.

Several scripts do this for other tasks and would be an easy inspiration for the loop code.

Replace with « and »

Hi JLuc

II was searching such a functionality for Scribus when I fall out on your script.

It is all right, but it has some limitations:

• it deals only with a selected frame. When you have a novel with numerous frames, to do it frame by frame looks like hell :(
• it doesn't deal with previously unbreakable space adding by Scribus if ever you have run it
• it doesn't respect French (from France) typo dealing with the Lexique des règles de typographiques en usage à l'Imprimerie nationale:
  • ; ! ? --> thin unbreakable space
  • : « » --> unbreakable space

  • •     --> simple space
      

  • and the classical rules for . , ( ) [ and ]

I know that some of my remarks are already noticed in the doc:

- same choosen space for « » ; ! ; : …

- only manages selected frame and doesnt follow links accross linked text frames <-- PR wanted

May be can we work together for enhanced this script?

You can join me by my private mail.

Thanks for your nice job.
