[solved] How to split a text box?

Postby seans_potato_biz » Tue May 03, 2016 8:45 pm

I'm making figures for a dissertation. The text box is long and needs to be divided across multiple pages. I've spent time aligning red boxes underneath incongruities in the text to highlight them and I want them to maintain their positions relative to the text after I split the text box. How do I achieve this?

This suggests that the feature has been available for some time: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inksca ... -at-cursor

I see in version 0.91 (the current stable) Extensions menu > Text > Split text.

Are you asking how to use it?
