Thank you for good post. I think Inkscape is a lot more handy than AI. At least I need more time for the illustrations in AI. I work far faster with Inkscape

Thanks

Thanks for that note. I do quite a bit of DTP in Malayalam and it is good to learn about your work.
I am still wondering how to do multi-page work in Inkscape. Want to try out different layers.

howto handle multipages

in inkscape, you can flow text around from block to block. the only thing you can’t do is handle multi-pages. but if you’re careful with your layouts, you could handle multi-pages in several ways.
a) create a much-larger canvas-sheet, which spans several actual pages. this works best for small publications like brochures, or fan-fold leaflets or similar. print in tiles, or in parts, one page at a time from this sheet.
b) create individual pages. export as ps or pdf. merge them using various pdf tools available under foss.
c) help develop inkscape into a multi-page design and layout software.

hope this helps
