Re: [Inkscape-user] Using clones for boxes with text in block diagram

Quoting Phil Endecott <spam_from_inkscape_users@...1394...>:

I'm also considering using clones for the boxes. What I'm after is a way to be able to change things like colours and line thicknesses just once, and have those changes affect all of the boxes of that class. Is cloning the best way to do this? It seems to work, but there is one problem. Normally I put some text inside the box and then group the box and the text. But if I then clone the group the text cannot be editted in the clone.

This is basically what CSS classes are for; I think we do have sufficient CSS support to use them now, but not good UI for CSS yet.
