<dt>Squiggle SVG Browser</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The <a href="site:browser">Squiggle SVG Browser</a> lets you view SVG

</dd>
<dt>SVG Rasterizer</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The <a href="site:rasterizer">SVG Rasterizer</a> is a utility that can
convert SVG files to a raster format. The tool can convert individual
files or sets of files, making it easy to convert entire directories
of SVG files. The supported formats are JPEG,
<abbr title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</abbr>, and
<abbr title="Tagged Image File Format">TIFF</abbr>, however the design
allows new formats to be added easily. In addition (and despite the
name) the rasterizer tool can also convert SVG files into
<abbr title="Portable Document Format">PDF</abbr>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>SVG Font Converter</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The <a href="site:font-converter">SVG Font Converter</a> lets
developers convert character ranges from the True Type Font format to
the SVG Font format to embed in SVG documents. This allows SVG
document to be fully self-contained and have their rendered
identically on all systems.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>SVG Pretty Printer</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The <a href="site:pretty-printer">SVG Pretty Printer</a> lets
developers “pretty-up” their SVG files and get their tabulations and
other cosmetic parameters in order. It can also be used to modify the
DOCTYPE declaration on SVG files.
