dose inkscape have a batch/command line mode?
It pretends to have one, but I have never managed to get it to work. The last I heard it was buggy and not maintained. This is a pity, because the way it promised to work looked quite powerful.
I've done a lot of very productive work from the command line using Inkscape as an SVG rendering tool (to both bitmaps and PDF), so I wouldn't discount it without giving it a shot. Simple text insertion into SVG templates lets you do all kinds of things.
I haven't used the --shell and --verb related commands, so perhaps there are problems with those, but for the rest of the commands shown by `inkscape --help`, I suspect they mostly do just what they should.
