I hope you mailed the maintainer of the other viewer about accepting not-XML files! Any well-formedness error shall be a fatal error. > The sample molecule.svg is a nice example.

This is the sort of case where some RDF in the <metadata> element pointing to the various features of interest (such as the four side chains marked witha green alpha, and the nitrogen substitutioninthe benzene ring) are of benefit; plus other description, links to other depictions (eg a smiles string, PDB files, etc) and further information (UV, IR, NMR spectra, suchlike) make for "more than a pretty picture". > Any hints on the origins of the example (such as in > which context has it appeared)? This is the sort of application where a server-side generator is excellent. These already exist, usually as interfaces to existing bond constraint systems, but they then spend half their time rasterising the image. An SVG-generating example application would be good. -- Chris
