# Glyph IDs

These two extensions streamline the process of creating fonts using the Custom Stroke Font extension [https://github.com/Shriinivas/inkscapestrokefont](https://github.com/Shriinivas/inkscapestrokefont). With a font with many glyphs it might be quite cumbersome to set the ids of each glyph manually using the XML editor. Use the getGlyphIDs to fetch the IDs before editing a font - the path IDs are easily changed during editing. Use the setGlyphIDs to set the path IDs effectively based on a string input having all the glyphs ordered from left to right. Read more about this extension on [Cutlings](http://cutlings.wasbo.net/inkscape-extension-automate-glyph-ids/).
# Ids To Text
Lets you extract the ids (or other attributes) from all selected paths and show them as text elements inside the paths.

This extension helps to clean up imported PDF docs and other weird files :-)
# Source Code Text
Based on the "Lorem Ipsum" plugin, this plugin searches the base directory for code, and strings it all together by concatenating on whitespace. If a flowed text is selected, Source code is added to it; otherwise a new flowed text object, the size of the page, is created in a new layer.

# Replace Text
Simple plugin to replace the text of all (selected) text elements. Nice for mass editing.
`text` elements often contain multiple lines, which is represented by multiple `tspan` elements. We can delete all tspans except the first to "shorten" everything.
It can be also used to remove trailing whitespaces and whitespaces between words.
