Bug Description

(This has just been a topic on the user mailing list)

The man page only lists examples for export options, but is extrememly sparse on Inkscape's other command line abilities that manipulate the image itself.

It would be nice if some more examples illustrated the 'powers' of the command line, and also explained about some of them not working without gui.

I'd like to suggest this could be added to the wiki instead (inkscape-web),
Once made there - it could be migrated to man pages
started: - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Script_extensions under "verb interface"

Closing, considering "verbs" have been replaced by "actions" in upcoming Inkscape 1.0.

(obviously the'y need some documentation to; if anybody wants to help, feel free to get in touch with us at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation)
