Still no support for multiple pages? Is it possible to vote for such feature? I'm really glad to see progress on SVG and hope this will finally make Mozilla to support SVG Tiny Fonts. This bug on their Bugzilla is 11 (!) years open: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119490 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119490

I am curious, why do you need multi-page support in an image format file? I don't think it is intended to be a document file format.

  It's not "image format file" - it is Scalable Vector Graphics format, there was pageSet in SVG Print draft already. It would be useful because a graphics (text layout) may span several pages, like in PDF.

    Well Wikipedia disagrees with you since it states that SVG is a "vector image format" (not that wikipedia could not be wrong anyway). I would consider printing to be another story though. It is possible to have a page size that spans to several pages when printing, but still it represents just one page. PDF is not the best analogy because it was designed to be a document format from the beginning.

      SVG is Scalable Vector Graphics. And http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage

        It is arguably that graphics and image are equivalent for this matter, on the basic meaning both terms imply visual presentation and none of them state a requirement for multi page. Anyway, I will stop here because this thread is reaching the futile point.

    I'm not sure exactly what you had in mind, but there is a CSS proposal to support paging in general on any kind of content. For example if you had a very tall SVG image, you would constrain the height of the block that it was in, and set the overflow-style to paged-y. The browser would then provide some form of control for you to page vertically through the content in that block. This stuff is currently documented in the GCPM module, but I suspect it will move somewhere else eventually. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/ http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/
