This is really neat! I know people have used pdf for presentations in the past too, but I think having a simple svg based one with a script to create it would be cool. That being said, we clearly need some improvements for presentations in full-screen mode. The 10 pixel page border around the outside is pretty distracting. We either want a 1-pixel black border, or perhaps no border at all. > I don't know if this is something you want to add to evince, but > here's the patch, feel free to use it! I'd be interested in adding it as as a conditional compile based on the presence of Cairo. I'm a little bit concerned as we have a couple unmaintained backends already, but I think this one is cool enough to add that it's worth doing. It's not unreasonable for us to support svg documents though. We also probably need a file extension for the index file. How about "Evince Presentation System" or "Presentation Data Format". Or maybe I'll let someone else come up with a name...
