Reference W3C Web Animations about svgwg

[nikosandronikos]

I think it probably should.

https://svgwg.org/specs/animations/

No, the list is still at https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/animate.html#Introduction .

What you linked to is the "SVG Animations" spec (aka SVG SMIL Animation).

The list at https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/animate.html#Introduction lists SVG animation elements, CSS Animations & Transitions, and JS-animation.

I hope they'll add W3C Web Animations (link https://www.w3.org/TR/web-animations/ ) to the list.

https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/ is the latest published working draft of the specification but because it's a snapshot, it's not the most up to date copy.
The latest editor's draft is what you should be looking at when suggesting changes for SVG 2.

The page you're linking to shouldn't actually exist.
The animation chapter has been removed from the SVG 2 spec. It has become the SVG Animations spec that I linked to. You'll see the intro contains the list that you referenced in your issue. This spec includes SMIL, but it is not restricted to that.
For some reason the deleted chapter made it into the directory when the working draft was published - the fact it's showing as an 'editor's draft' and isn't listed in the contents gives hints to this.

At
https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/single-page.html#refs-InformativeReferences
there are these foot note ref targets:
"CSS3ANIMATIONS", "CSS3TRANSITIONS", neither of which is used/refd in the spec document.

I think I'd list all major W3C animation options, prominently in the spec, or none at all. I'd list and link to these:
CSS Transitions & Animation specs.
SVG Animation spec.
Web Animations spec.
JS-animation (requestAnimationFrame spec).

The list "SVG content can be animated in the following ways" should be more complete (eg as above), and it could be present in the SVG 2 spec, in the SVG Animation spec (where it is present now), or in both (that would be sensible as well).

I've added #71. I'll tidy up the references before we publish CR.

Closing this issue in favour of #71.

[tobireif]

The list at https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/animate.html includes everything I listed (in #22 (comment) and in #22 (comment) ), so it's OK to close this issue.

@tobireif Thanks!
