Some features, such as SMIL animation and SVG Fonts are not as widely supported. There are many SVG authoring tools, and export to SVG is supported by all major vector graphics authoring tools.</p> <p>SVG 2 is currently under development, and will add new ease-of-use features to SVG, as well as more closely integrating with HTML, CSS, and the DOM, and deprecating features not supported by all browsers.</p> <p>The SVG Working Group is currently working in parallel on a set of modules for extending prior specifications and adding functionality to CSS, and the new SVG 2 specification will combine those modules with the rest of the SVG framework to work across the full range of devices and platforms.</p> <p> <b><a href="About.html">Read more</a> about SVG.</b> </p> </div> <h3>Still Have Questions?</h3> <div class="intro"> <p>If you have questions about SVG, please read our <a href="https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG_FAQ">Frequently Asked Questions</a>.

The event will be of interest to a broad range of attendees, from graphics professionals right through to data journalists. As well as conference sessions and training workshops, the W3C SVG Work Group may be holding meetings as part of the conference.</p>  </article> <article class="line"> <h2>News</h2> <h3><a href="https://www.w3.org/Graphics/fx/">CSS-SVG Effects Task Force Started</a></h3> <p>The CSS and SVG Working groups have started a joint task force to discuss and develop mutual features such as gradients, transforms, filters, and animation. The aim is to specify a coherent underlying model with alternative syntaxes and syntactic sugar, for ease of implementation and authoring.
