In the past "Canvas" has been used to refer to the entire drawing area while "Page" has been used to refer to the SVG specified drawing area. The dialogs and command line options should use "Page" wherever "Canvas" is used.
Tav, could you document the renaming [1] of the command line option '--export-area-canvas' to '--export-area-page' in the release notes? I couldn't find any reference to this change except in your manual ;-)
The 'Command Line Options' manual page referenced in the Inkscape help menu (redirects to http://inkscape.modevia.com/inkscape-man.html) also still lists '--export-area-canvas' although Inkscape 0.47(pre) no longer accepts the option and fails to export with the message: "Invalid option --export-area-canvas" when called from a script or an extension. I don't know where the source for the man page is - AFAICS the (online) document already includes other changes in 0.47 (BTW - that document needs a date stamp or version information ;-).
thanks, ~suv
