Package: inkscape
Version: 1.1.1-2~bpo11+1
Severity: wishlist
Currently Inkscape's Help menu just opens URLs.

My disadvantaged users do not have internet access, so currently they cannot
get help.
This is already fixed for Help > Tutorials (apt install inkscape-tutorials).
Can this be extended to the rest of the Help menu?
The tutorials come from this repository:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation
Help > Keys comes from that same repository.
Help > Command Line Options comes from that same repository (./man/).
Help > Manual currently points to an third-party manual that is
* written for the wrong Inkscape version,
* doesn't support https, and
* cannot be distributed by Debian (non-commercial clause).
However, there is a new first-party manual which is here:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals
It is available pre-rendered here (only for latest version, not guaranteed to
be for the version Debian ships):
https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/
https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/htmlzip/
https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/epub/
I am happy if "Help > Keys" and "Help > Manual" work offline.
However here are some notes about the other options:
Help > FAQ I think must come from here, but I can't see HOW.
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/
Help > New In This Version comes from Mediawiki, so is probably annoying.
This may be auto-generated elsewhere; I haven't found evidence of this.
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.1
Help > Report a Bug &
Help > Donate are not useful offline.
Help > SVG 1.1 Specification &
Help > SVG 2.0 Specification link to w3.org.
I don't know if it's worth caring about those.
Help > About Memory &
Help > About Inkscape
are already working offline, they are in-app widgets.
