I always felt that svg, with multiple pages would be great as a replacement for other multi page layout formats (more secure than pdf, more easily manipulatable than doc), but I'm sure there are many implementation details of both of those formats that I am neglecting that are irreplaceable to the academic and business applications that may have special uses for them.<br><br>Inkscape's broader purpose is as a drawing program, so mixing both drawing and text document editing into a single application would muddle the interface and functionality.<br><span style="font-family:Prelude, Verdana, san-serif;"><br><br></span><span id="signature"><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;color: #999999;">kyle m. reynolds (mac os x, c++)<br>canvas foundation, designer (yukikito)<br>class of 2014, school of electrical engineering and computer science (university of central florida)</div><br></span><span style="color:navy; font-family:Prelude, Verdana, san-serif; "><hr align="left" style="width:75%">On Aug 28, 2010 10:23 PM, maledetto@...2748... &lt;maledetto@...2748...&gt; wrote: <br><br>hello

<br>sorry if you already discussed this...
<br>
<br>i was thinking about how to simulate pages with svg capabilities and
<br>inkscape features. i am also in the need to create text forms that are
<br>empty by default and don't shrink to the size of the input. i also
<br>understand that svg has no rules to solve these problems and probably
<br>never will, but...
<br>
<br>is svg meant to solve higher order layout problems or is a tool like
<br>inkscape wrong if it only bases on one svg document per document/file?
<br>what would w3c say to this? do they think that multiple pages in a
<br>document are to be defined as multiple svg documents in one xml
<br>document? are text forms to be programmed with python or javascript or
<br>should one integrate other standards like xhtml or xforms?
<br>
<br>what do you think?
