"Save as image map" Inkscape extension
======================================

Enables [Inkscape][1] to turn hyperlinked SVGs into [image maps][2].
Supports HTML, XHTML, and [mod_imagemap][3] formats. Requires Inkscape 1.4.3
or newer, due to changes in the path-split feature.

### Contributing code

When you change code, run the tests to confirm everything still works. See
the [inkex unit test documentation][5]. You will likely need to set the
`INKSCAPE_COMMAND` and `PYTHONPATH` environment variables.

If you add any translatable strings, you can run `make pot` to regenerate
the `imagemap.pot` file.

### Contributing translations

Use the `imagemap.pot` file as a template for translation. Translations go
in `imagemap.po` files in subdirectories of the `locale/` folder. The
subdirectories are titled after [gettext locale names][6].
