When text flow inside frame and frame has background color and/or border there must the ability to set the space between text and frame border so that text don't touch frame border.
...clarifying further...
I'm used with Desk Top Publishing [sic] programs as QuarkXpress or Scribus. On these programs text box has background color, border stroke with style/color and control over space between text and border. Resizing textbox the text flow inside the box instead, with some keybinding, text is scrinked [??? -- gt].
Working a little more with Inkscape these features can be achieved using two rectangles, a text object and "Flow into Frame" and/or "inset/outset" features. Just a longer way to get the same results. A GUI that control text box background color, border and inset space is imho a good functions to implement. But I don't know if this is on SVG specification.
Migrator's Notes:
- Forgive my lack of in-depth understanding of the SVG spec but couldn't this be somehow achieved directly in either SVG or using the CSS Box Model? All it needs is a GUI for those ignorant graphic designers...like myself!
😄 - Yeah yeah...~"needs design"
