Adobe has released a preview of the Illustrator CSS5 HTML5 Pack<\/a>. There is already an HTML 5 Pack for Dreamweaver.<\/p>\n

Illustrator CS5 could already export in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, but the pack adds some interesting features.<\/p>\n

One is the ability to specify strokes and fills as variables, so that you can modify them in JavaScript. <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Exporting an image that uses this feature creates a JavaScript file as well as the SVG itself.<\/p>\n

You can also mark an Illustrator object as Canvas. This will convert the object to a bitmap that is drawn to a Canvas element within SVG.<\/p>\n

There is also increased support for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You can use CSS to define fills, strokes, opacity, gradient, position, and named character styles.<\/p>\n

Other features in the Pack include the ability to detect the HTML window size and vary the SVG that is delivered accordingly \u2013 to support mobile browsers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course Adobe was doing this anyway, but it is interesting to see HTML 5 support now being extended. Export more HTML 5 goodness at the forthcoming MAX<\/a> conference next month.<\/p>\n

If you try the new HTML5 Pack read the installation instructions carefully. You have to back up certain files, otherwise it may affect whether you can apply future official updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
