+dvisvgm is a fast DVI to SVG converter
+
+The command-line utility dvisvgm is a tool for TeX/LaTeX users. It converts DVI
+and EPS files to the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG. In contrast
+to bitmap graphics, vector graphics are arbitrarily scalable without loss of
+quality.
+
+All modern web browsers support a large amount of the current SVG standard 1.1.
+Furthermore, SVG files can also be displayed with the Java-based Squiggle SVG
+browser which is part of the Apache Batik project, and the free vector
+graphics editor Inkscape.
