  <summary>Vector Graphics Editor</summary>
  <description>
    <p>
      A Free and open source vector graphics editor. It offers a rich set of features and is widely used for both artistic and technical illustrations such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagramming and flowcharting.
    </p>
    <p>
      It uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at unlimited resolution and is not bound to a fixed number of pixels like raster graphics. Inkscape uses the standardized SVG file format as its main format, which is supported by many other applications including web browsers.
    </p>
    <p>
      Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending,
      etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface.
      It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace
      bitmaps and much more.
      We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using
      open, community-oriented development.
    </p>
