: Apply Character Style to selection in Scribus I'm putting together a short rule book and I thought I'd try out Scribus. The problem I'm running in is trying to apply style to short selections
I'm putting together a short rule book and I thought I'd try out Scribus. The problem I'm running in is trying to apply style to short selections of text within a text frame. Basically, I want to apply a "character style" to a section of text to override the default "paragraph style".
I've created a named style called "Rule Style" and want to apply the style to sections in the text that reference rules. For example:
... reference Rule 4. Doing Stuff when doing things, but don't forget the clause in Rule 5. Doing More Stuff ...
I'm using Scribus 1.4.4 on a Mac.

I think you'll have realised that unfortunately you just can't do this.
You can override almost every aspect of a paragraph style within a text box using the text editor but it's a manual process where the result is stored inline like the bad old days of html formatting.
One of the many frustrations of style handling in Scribus.
