+Instead of creating a PDF, Typst can also directly render pages to scalable
+vector graphics (SVGs), which are the preferred format for embedding vector
+graphics in web pages. Like PDF files, SVGs display your document exactly how
+you have laid it out in Typst. Likewise, they share the benefit of not being
+bound to a specific resolution. Hence, you can print or view SVG files on any
+device without incurring a loss of quality. (Note that font printing quality may
+be better with a PDF.) In contrast to a PDF, an SVG cannot contain multiple
+pages. When exporting a multi-page document, Typst will emit multiple SVGs.
+
+SVGs can represent text in two ways: By embedding the text itself and rendering
+it with the fonts available on the viewer's computer or by embedding the shapes
+of each glyph in the font used to create the document. To ensure that the SVG
+file looks the same across all devices it is viewed on, Typst chooses the latter
+method. This means that the text in the SVG cannot be extracted automatically,
+for example by copy/paste or a screen reader. If you need the text to be
+accessible, export a PDF or HTML file instead.
+
+SVGs can have transparent backgrounds. By default, Typst will output an SVG with
+an opaque white background. You can make the background transparent using
+`[#set page(fill: none)]`. Learn more on the
+[`page` function's reference page]($page.fill).
+
+# Exporting as SVG
+## Command Line
+Pass `--format svg` to the `compile` or `watch` subcommand or provide an output
+file name that ends with `.svg`.
+
+If your document has more than one page, Typst will create multiple image files.
+The output file name must then be a template string containing at least one of
+- `[{p}]`, which will be replaced by the page number
+- `[{0p}]`, which will be replaced by the zero-padded page number (so that all
+  numbers have the same length)
+- `[{t}]`, which will be replaced by the total number of pages
+
+When exporting to SVG, you have the following configuration options:
+
+- Which pages to export by specifying `--pages` followed by a comma-separated
+  list of numbers or dash-separated number ranges. Ranges can be half-open.
+  Example: `2,3,7-9,11-`.
+
+## Web App
+Click "File" > "Export as" > "SVG" or click the downwards-facing arrow next to
+the quick download button and select "Export as SVG". When exporting to SVG, you
+have the following configuration options:
+
+- Which pages to export. Valid options are "All pages", "Current page", and
+  "Custom ranges". Custom ranges are a comma-separated list of numbers or
+  dash-separated number ranges. Ranges can be half-open. Example: `2,3,7-9,11-`.
