SMIL
TM
The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced
"smile")
enables simple authoring of interactive audiovisual presentations. SMIL is
typically used for "rich media"/multimedia presentations which integrate
streaming audio and video with images, text or any other media type. SMIL
is an
easy-to-learn HTML-like language, and many SMIL presentations are written
using
a simple text-editor.
For a more detailed description of the goals of the SMIL language, see
the
W3C
Activity Statement
on Synchronized
Multimedia; a regularly updated report to W3C members that is also
available to
the public.
The public is invited to send comments and information requests about
SMIL
