Abstract

This is a Layout for an SVG Module. Please explain the use cases and needs that this module meets. This specification provides magical, transformative, and eschaton-immanentizing functionality for SVG.

Although originally designed for use in SVG, some aspects of this specification are defined in XML and are accessed via presentation properties, and therefore could be used in other environments, such as HTML styled with CSS and XSL:FO.

This document introduces the features used by SVG Layouts, for the use of the average developer or author.
