Welcome to the countersheetsextension wiki!

In general the artifacts created by the extension are refered to as countersheets, consisting of counters. But of course they could also be sheets of cards or any other things that a mail merger could be used for. Some documents will be for some more specific use and call them something other than counters.

Not much will be said about how to use Inkscape. There are many excellent tutorials to learn that from elsewhere. Also try the book Inkscape, A Guide to a Vector Drawing Program, 4th Edition by Tavmjong Bah that is available free online.
