Using a masterpage in jessyink

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sorry, I couldn't find out how to write an entry to the wiki, so I try it 
with the issues page.

In PowerPoint one can use a master page. It is also possible in JessyInk!

How to use a master page
1. Select  the lowest layer in Inkscape (e.g."Title" in "jessyink_0_1.svg".
2. Create a new layer below the lowest layer and call it e.g. "Master"
3. Draw background elements and images as you like it
4. Lock the layer "Master"
5. Open the "XML-Editor" in Inkscape.
6. Select the first element "svg:g"
7. On the right hand side select the "inkscape:groupmode" attribute and 
click on "delete attribute" above in the symbol panel (see also attached 
screenshot).
that's it!

If you want to modify the Master:
1. Open the "XML-Editor" in Inkscape.
2. Select the first element "svg:g"
3. Type "inkscape:groupmode" in the empty field, enter "layer" as 
attribute value and click "set"
4. Unlock the layer in the "layer" dialog and modify it
5. Lock the layer and delete the inkscape:groupmode-attribute (see above)

When you open this svg in firefox, the Master page will always be 
displayed!
