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.
- pmelendez 14y agoWell 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.

- pmelendez 14y agoIt 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.
- j4_james 14y agoI'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/
