We're not anal about it, but we typically encourage in-line posting, with ample trimming of stuff from prior posts.
OK. I've used Inkscape when developing websites to layout pages as a sort of fast prototype. It's the step after first drafts (in pencil or crayon) but before the client gets to mess it all up. The advantage being that I can then export buttons and gradient fills as PNG and use them in the final page. I use layers to provide for on/off CSS rollovers so that I can do page views which show some of the event based CSS effects.
Cool. It amazes me all the different ways people use Inkscape. It's actually a bit of a shame there's so *many* use cases, because it makes it more challenging to decide where to focus... Features for people interested in print work won't help people that want an SVG generation tool, or an animation tool, or a website editor, or a technical drawing tool, or.....
This is why we always love welcoming new people who want to help out in areas that we currently lack developers.
Using Inkscape for my web design work prompted me to get more involved - so I'm trying to test svn and to add some useful stuff to the wiki. I also use Inkscape in my other work at a paint your own pottery studio http://barefoot-ceramics.com ... but more on that some other time.
HTH and thanks for all the code.
Cool, and welcome aboard! :-)
PS: Sorry about the weight of this mail, but I thought it would be more instructive with images.
Thanks. As you might have noticed, the mailing list software choked on it, so it didn't actually come through until today. Sorry about that!
For future reference, most people will post examples to a website, and just include a URL in their email. This is particularly helpful for people who follow the inkscape list through the digest version - it can't really handle attachments. It also helps people viewing archived email messages, since archivers often mess up attachments.
