Hi
i've only recently discovered Inkscape and found it very promising. However, there is a feature that i miss a lot: the possility to define a frame for text with 1) dynamic line wrapping and 2) "local" formating options (e.g to mix various types of fonts, to use bold, italic, superscripts, subscripts in the text etc.).
I have looked at the list of requested features and i found several related entries (e.g. 863325, 1084658 and 1080623) some of them dating back to last year. But there seems to be very little response to these requests. Without this feature inkscape is not a real alternative for me, unfortunately.
Do you plan to implement such a feature?
thanks

Yes. In fact it already works, though there's no UI for it yet. See share/examples/flowsample.svg
Theres no decent, complete UI, but to add the elements needed to put text into shapes you can select them, right click and do 'add text to shapes' to add the text itself you currently need to use the xml editor. better than starting from scratch tho.

We've already implemented rendering support for both (as of 0.39/0.40), the only thing that remains is to finish writing the user interface for them.
