Scribus
- Description
- BOF: '<SCRIBUS' - this sequence captures the oldest variant to use XML tags, <SCRIBUS> approximately in use for versions 0.3-0.9.*, a later variant <SCRIBUSUTF8 approximately in use for versions 1.0-1.2.*, and an even later variant <SCRIBUSUTF8NEW approximately in use for versions 1.3 onwards. It may be desirable to split these into separate PUIDs.
