svgvml

SVG vs VML - has either been deprecated by browser vendors?

We are converting a DOCX file to HTML. In the DOCX file it has Shapes & SmartArt which we can render as SVG or VML.

Is there any official statement by the browser vendors as to which is preferred? Or which will continue to be updated while the other is just maintained?

I am not asking for an opinion of which is better. I am just asking if one has been deprecated by the browser vendors.

Reply to being closed: How on earth is asking if VML is deprecated a duplicate of detecting which is supported in a browser?

Solution

  • VML is officially deprecated. See here:
