Hey all

I'm writing a script that takes a few larger svg canvases (made in inkscape), and then exports certain areas of them to png files. Now, I also want to export some of these areas to svg files, so that the exported svg has the size and the contents just like the png would have.
Basically, what I'm looking for is a command equivalent to inkscape mycanvas.svg -i exportid -e output.png that lets me export to an output.svg file. I've tried using the -l option, but that exports the entire canvas.

Thanks for your time
