10 | <h4>Scribus Command Line Reference</h4> |
||
21559 | gpittman | 11 | <p>Just like any other program, Scribus can be launched from the command line. Here are the command line options for Linux/UNIX (including Mac OS X). On other operating systems the parameters may have to be used differently.</p> |
