JackSVG
JackSVG is a program which allows you to create SVG slide
presentations. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open technology from
the W3C for describing vector graphics on the Web. JackSVG allows you to
create presentations that you can publish on the Web and distribute
freely - without requiring your audience to have proprietary
presentation software to view it. The JackSVG home page is at http://titanium.dstc.edu.au/xml/jacksvg/.
Documentation
Some of this documentation is still under development. If there is
anything that is unclear of missing, please contact us and we'll try to
priortise it.
In a moment of twisted insight, it was decided to write the
documentation as JackSVG presentations. For this reason, there are SVG
versions of them. However, only the introduction to JackSVG works well
as a SVG presentation. Read the HTML version of the other documents,
because most of the content has been placed in the notes.
