SVG Markers is a specification that defines SVG markers, a feature for placing re-usable graphical elements along the outline of an SVG shape.
SVG Strokes is a specification that defines properties for controlling the appearance of strokes painted for SVG shapes.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 is a specification that defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions, and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create interactive documents, and animations can be performed using declarative animation features or by using script.
