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.
