Ok, yes. I'll have a look :-)
I did wonder why the extra anchor or question was made. I would have just
added a couple of extra sentences to the answer for FAQ #1.5.
The reason I have that thought, is because it is in the General section.
This is the section where we want to make Inkscape sound like a great
program. And "Why does Inkscape only export PNGs?" as a question by itself,
doesn't seem to fit with the other general type of questions. It makes it
sound like it might be a bad thing about Inkscape. It seems like it would
belong more in the How-To section, if it is a separate question. (Or maybe
it would be "How to export JPGs?")
But I understand that sometimes it is a fine line, whether a question
belongs here or there. If everyone else agrees about the organization, I'll
just check the text, and leave the format alone.
All best,
brynn

Thanks, Sylvain.
I'd change the link name 'JPEG one' to 'for example, <a>this
one</a>'.
Brynn, please see the attached screenshots for a quick overview of the
changes Sylvain asks you to review.
"If you think Inkscape should export to other formats, you can try to
make a feature request on the bug tracker."
could better be something like
"If you need another export format that Inkscape currently does not
offer, you can make a suggestion to add it to Inkscape in the Inkscape
bug tracker."
('try to' sounds as if it's futile...)
Kind Regards,

- Didn't look too closely at the organization, but I agree with you,
Brynn - I think it could work like this:
"Inkscape can natively import most raster formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.)
as bitmap images, but it can only export PNG bitmaps.
Inkscape does not intend to export other raster formats than PNG as this
is currently the most suited format for vector graphics: it uses
lossless compression and is supported by typically all graphics or
rendering software.
If you really need to get your vector in another raster format (e.g.
because your document contains bitmaps and the PNG file size is large or
if you want to use your vector on a platform which only accepts JPEG),
you will have to convert the exported PNG with another software (such as
the GIMP or ImageMagick) or an extension, for example, <a>this one</a>.
Inkscape can save as SVG, SVGZ, PDF, Postscript/EPS/EPSi, LaTeX (*.tex),
POVRay (*.pov), HPGL, and MANY others. Starting with version 0.91,
Inkscape can save as: FXG (Flash XML Graphics), SIF (Synfig Animation
Studio), HTML5 Canvas, and there are improvements for XAML export.
Please see “Exporting Other File Types” section of the Exporting Files
chapter of the manual, for more details.
If you need another export format that Inkscape currently does not
offer, you can make a suggestion to add it to Inkscape in the Inkscape
bug tracker."

Maren

That's because I love organization… But well, this was not correctly
organized.
- Didn't look too closely at the organization, but I agree with
you,
Brynn - I think it could work like this:
"Inkscape can natively import most raster formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.)

If you really need to get your vector in another raster format (e.g.

if you want to use your vector on a platform which only accepts JPEG),
you will have to convert the exported PNG with another software (such as
the GIMP or ImageMagick) or an extension, for example, <a>this one</a>.
‘GIMP’ does not refer to itself with ‘the’:
http://www.gimp.org/

I had written an ironical ‘try’ as Martin said he already received the
request for JPEG but won't allow that export — :).
I changed the text.

Oh, I was not aware of that! I thought it was called The GNU Image
Manipulation Program. When I first was aware of gimp, their website and
manual and forums, and everything associated with the program, called it
"The GIMP". I do realize that most people refer to it as GIMP, but from
everything I knew, the proper name is The GIMP. Perhaps that has changed in
recent years?

My opinion is that, for many people around the world, ‘the’ contains a
quite unusual sound which can be hard to pronounce, and say/write only
‘GIMP’ is much more concise and simple.
Actually, ‘The GIMP’ is certainly still correct but less practical in
most cases.
‘This is the official website of the GNU Image Manipulation Program
(GIMP).’ The developed version uses ‘the’, the acronym does not keep it.

If 10 years is recent, then yes :)
