Can a stroke be converted to a path in Inkscape?
Like any other svg object, a stroke on a text object can be converted to a path. In version 1.0, the Stroke to Path operation will create a group of two path objects: the original fill as one, the stroke as the other. Nick’s tutorials mostly use the earlier versions of Inkscape.

How to stroke to path on clipped object?
The circle serves as example. The goal is to be able to do this for any clipped object with wide strokes – not just circles. You must remove the fill color from the resulted path, give a stroke color and make the stroke width narrow enough to leave some room. All this is available in the Fill & Stroke panel.
