+=item B<--verb-list>

+Lists all the verbs that are available in Inkscape by ID.  This ID can be
+used in defining keymaps or menus.  It can also be used with the --verb
+command line option.

+=item B<--verb>=I<VERB-ID>, B<--select>=I<OBJECT-ID>
+
+These two options work together to provide some basic scripting for
+Inkscape from the command line.  They both can occur as many times as
+needed on the command line and are executed in order on every document that
+is specified.
+
+The --verb command will execute a specific verb like it
+was called from a menu or button.  Dialogs will appear if that is part
+of the verb.  To get a list of the verb IDs available use the --verb-list
+command line option.
+
+The --select command will cause objects that have the ID
+specified to be selected.  This allows various verbs to act upon them.  To
+remove all the selections use --verb=EditDeselect.  The object IDs
+available are dependent on the document specified to load.
