JackSVG

"Power without Powerpoint".

Overview

JackSVG produces a SVG file formatted for presentation from presentation content that is written in a simple XML vocabulary. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a open graphics format for the Web developed by the W3C.

There are many SVG slide presentation programs available. JackSVG's main feature is that it can use diffent stylesheets to change the appearance and layout of the presentation. You can also write your own custom "skins". JackSVG also uses real font metrics information to perform accurate line breaking and layouts.

If you'd like to see JackSVG in action, have a look at the examples page where there are sample SVG files and screen images. JackSVG can be downloaded for free. For more information about JackSVG, please see the JackSVG documentation.
