Made with Scribus version 1.4.8.
Use Page -> Insert Page to add new pages. Under "Master Pages", select "left_text" and "right_text" New pages will not have text frames. Add a text frame and set it to be 7.5" high and 4.5" wide. The top left should be at (0.5", 0.5"). Link the text frame to the prior or next page as needed.
Use the templated story editor for the majority of the text. It permits per-paragraph styling. Be careful with the use of the new-line/enter button (alt+enter can be used in the story editor to force new lines that do not force a new styled paragraph).
Use linked text frames on the main layer.
Titles, headers of various levels, standard paragraphs are all done this way, with the story editor.
Inline code and other formating (such as refering to other pages) should be formatted using "Character Styles." To do this, open the properties window for the text frame, highlight the text, select "Text" -> "Style Settings" in the "Properties" window and select the desired Character Style
Inline math will have to be manually done, by overwriting the styling and using unicode math.
A text frame with custom shape/fill/stroke on a separate layer.
The booklet contains very little math notation. For inline formulas we will use bolded unicode rendition when possible. When not, custom render frames can be used.
Inline code is boring monospaced as in the web page. Code panes might require custom render frames with exta LaTeX packages or images
Two extra layers for images, with properly set floating constraints.
From properties, select shape and set text flow to countour line. You can edit the countour line from the edit button.
Having the properties pane and the layers pane added to the default interface helps significantly.
Commit c14ea97efd6d7f3a850d2fa644fe55278aa854d2 contains a version with slight offsets for a header image, required to avoid awkward cutoff when binding. Not necessary if using a binding that does not suffer from bending offset.
