Ability to export documents in SVG [1] file format. This would allow this would allow interoperability with many programs like Scribus [2], Inkscape [3] and LibreOffice [4]. One possible way of implementing SVG support is to use simple-svg [5].

As the SVG format is a XML document, the exported files could also include additional information about the document. This information could include the real dimensions of objects, dimensions of the document and if texts are exported as paths, the font name and text in text format.
