(Richard) > An XML standard for describing interconnected devices I don't know any, but there are more general XML mailing lists [1] for asking where someone might provide with a better answer... ;-) > Has a transform to SVG for rendering and printing Rendering the XML can be accomplished by an XML style sheet and/or transform [2]. I'm not sure if there are any already available, though... SVG Printing [3] is a dedicated specification underway. I'm now familiar with existing implementations nor with details, but SVG itself already has high quality (printing) output as a specific objective [4]. Again, I don't know if/how implementations are dealing with this (i.e., if any implementation takes the advantage of printing using a much high resolution than the on-screen graphics). (David) > and I'm told that Visio does it from a WYSIWYG perspective. Yes, Microsoft Office Visio seems to support this through templates: "Network"/"Basic Network Diagram" or "Detailed Network Diagram". Dia [5] (open source project) seems to support this as well: in the tool bar, one may press the menu (down arrow) and select "Other sheets"/"Network". Both tools support saving and/or exporting in SVG format. :-) Hope this helps, Helder Magalhães [1] http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGPrint/ [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/concepts.html#Scalable [5] http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/
