Ello all again. I have a issue. I have made a awesome newsletter in scribus. I cant find a way to export it to html so i can email it to my clients for work. So i exported it as a jpg, and now i want to make a few of the text lines links as well as a few of the pictures.

thanks guys

i have tried to use the image map feature in gimp but it is not showing the image or links when i save it

Use Scribus to make the links, export as PDF, email as attachment.

tried but most peoples email is set up to block pdfs for viruses. they want it in html.

lol. plus it is good for me to learn all methods as well

The Image Map plug-in doesn't make an image but a text file with code you add to the HTML email. Save your image map from Gimp in text format. You then have to design an HTML email, add your image and image map code, which for compatibility you'll need to know the proper way to do that. HTML emails are not designed the same way as web pages.

Here's a few links to give you a better idea of the process.

Thanks man. sorry for my last reply of being blunt. I am a math tutor at the college and i had about 20 students in line. haha. Thank you for the replies and i will check them out. if wrse comes to worse, ill try to export a pdf as html or just attach it

I got it working. I created the image map with gimp and then used a free website that lets you format an email in html and then mail it to yourself since gmail can acept email in html but not write. Sent a test message out and it worked. The only part i had trouble with was getting the imgsrc html code to work. I had the jpg and html file all in same directory but image was still not showing up. So i just uploaded to a picture server and it works now. Haha.

Graechan, This converter will not work for HTML email without specific editing (see my last post).
