Hi. =20 Could anyone tell if there's a way to place a new node at the intersection of two straight lines (without converting each line into a shape by adding more nodes, then doing something like path merge/union/intersection on those two shapes etc).

None that I'm aware of. I was swearing at that yesterday. It would be really nice (and really impossible task) to have the geometric features of Geometry Expressions in Inkscape.

Just out of interest (as your post kind of makes me think that it's theoretically "hard" to do), how does inkscape calculate intersection points when I ask it to do path intersection of solid shapes made from bezier curves? Does it use these "geometry expressions"?
