Hi there,

I have been using Inkscape for a bit and this one has me a little stumped. I am using Inkscape to create an invitation for a party. I want to create a template for the invitation and then, some how, provide a list of names and have Inkscape print out a unique invitation for each name based on the template and a name.

About the best I have been able to find is to use a script (python in my csse) and generate unique svg files (doing a regex on a control word) and then export it to a png. I wondering if there is a smarter/better way to do it that I'm missing. Google hasn't been very helpful with "inkscape batch invitations"

Cheers

This might be useful:

though I think it must have been written for 0.45 or earlier since neither 0.46 or 0.47 have effects>miscellaneous.

Also this:

I have not tried either, but here are two options:

Inkscape Generator extension: http://colivre.coop.br/Aurium/InkscapeGenerator
Using an XSLT processor: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9283

Thanks for them, I'll have a look into see how they work,

cheers
