referenciable Text styles??

Postby rsf » Thu Jan 24, 2013 4:36 am

Hello.
I'm making web site mockups and I hate change all individual text elements when I want to change the typography.
Is there any way to create text styles that can be referenced by multiple text elements so that I need only to change the style and not each individual text element?
Something like word processors do.
Any tips?
Thanks

There's nothing like that that I know of, in Inkscape. But if you select all the text at once, it's just one click to change them all at once. Maybe you could do something like putting all the text on a separate layer. That would make it easier to select it all at once.

Scribus, which is an open source desktop publilshing program, is compatible with SVG though. And I know that it does have that kind of functionality. Maybe you coud look into doing the graphics with Inkscape, and combining with text in Scribus? Just a thought :D

I'll go with layers for now but I'll surelly check Scribus out.
Thanks :-)

Hello

In the development version 0.49 it's an option for selecting multiple objects of the same type. But it has a LOT OF BUGS!!!

However it will be a interesting feature to have a list of styles
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

Oh yes, that certainly would be nice! The more I hear about 0.49, the more excited I get about it :D
