I think you may be wrong.  After a lot of Googling, I see there is a mail merge

won't export a csv file directly.


I only spotted this post by chance, buried in my email box.

This line of research I have followed for some time.

In ScribusGenerator I parked my ideas in post #7 in this thread:-

https://github.com/berteh/ScribusGenerator/issues/167

As I wrote above, ScribusGenerator script can be evolved to draw down (PHP include) assets into SLA elements from a CRUD (PHP + DB) rather than csv.  But understand that with this approach the csv holds links to DB and PHP snippets /in a second level of abstraction/.

carto.net was the inspiration (I read it quite some years ago).

But a heck of a lot of studying/hacking is required, hacking mime types and the like. I have tried to document the workflow I use in Ubuntu. The configuration can be scripted.
