ImportHTML - am I doing something wrong

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm using Scribus 1.6.6 on Mac. Using File -> Import -> Get Text on a text frame, and picking a .html file, drops the contents of the file including the HTML tags. I would expect Scribus to remove the tags and parse the styles but it looks like it's not doing that.

Basically instead of getting "This is a paragraph with italics", I'm getting "<p>This is a paragraph with <em>italics</em></p>".

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug with Scribus?
