Yes, the UI lags behind at the moment - we just finished a major refactoring of the flowed text internals and were going to start working on UI for it, so it's ready for 0.42. For now the only UI you have is, right-click a path and select "Flow text into shape". The created flowtext can be edited on canvas (despite what the placeholder text says :) and can be styled as usual from the Text&Font dialog. Text selections now work too (they were not implemented up to 0.41). The example file share/examples/flowsample.svg demonstrates flowed text with styles spans, RTL fragments, chaining and exclusion. You can edit both the text and the shapes live on canvas. > I did see an 'unflow text' command, was not sure what that did. That one converts flowtext into the regular 1.1 text, fully preserving all the layout and formatting (using tspans with absolute x/y for lines, and using dx= arrays to preserve justification). This is intended for those who use flowed text but need to create 1.1 conformant documents. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http:://www.inkscape.org
