Documentation

The Inkscape documentation repository, containing the man page, the keyboard shortcut list as well as the tutorials and their respective translation files, has been almost completely refactored (Java has been dropped in favor of Python), and was updated to work with git and GitLab. The man page and the keyboard shortcut list have also been updated.

Continuously updated man page (for command line usage), keyboard and mouse shortcut list, tutorials and translation statistics for the various parts of the Inkscape project are available on the inkscape.org website:

Contributions to the documentation translations, as well as improvements to its contents, are welcome at the inkscape-docs repository.
