Editing Vector Markup Language (section)

== Implementations ==

VML is used by most [[Microsoft Office]] applications, such as [[Microsoft Word]] and [[Microsoft Visio]], within HTML files created using the '<code>Save As HTML</code>' option (plain HTML or [[MHTML|MHT]]). Such files retain complete [[Vector graphics|vector]] information, and can be reopened for editing using other Microsoft applications, such as [[Microsoft PowerPoint]]. VML was natively supported by Microsoft's [[Internet Explorer]] up to version 9 inline within HTML, using an undefined version of [[SGML]] [[namespace]]s. Support for VML was dropped in Internet Explorer 10 and subsequent versions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-ie10-web-browser-dx-vml,14215.html|title = Microsoft Removes Legacy Baggage from Internet Explorer 10|date = 9 December 2011}}</ref>

Support for "ink annotations" in [[Office Open XML]] files was added to [[LibreOffice]] during the 3.7 development cycle.<ref>{{cite web | title = Importing OOXML Ink annotations into LibreOffice | url = http://www.derivativezero.com/blog/2012/09/importing-ooxml-ink-annotations-into-libreoffice/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121001050450/http://www.derivativezero.com/blog/2012/09/importing-ooxml-ink-annotations-into-libreoffice/ | archive-date = 1 October 2012 }}</ref>

VML is not natively supported by most web browsers. Web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari or Google Chrome support [[Scalable Vector Graphics]] (SVG) instead of VML.
