Wikipedia talk:How to draw SVG circuits using Xcircuit

Pardon my Linux ineptitude. I nearly quit reading this article where it required bash and shell fluency. I froze faced with opening a console and running multiple scripts. Luckily I kept reading: opening a shell apparently became unnecessary in 2009: a revision upgraded Xcircuit to output single-page SVG files. This article appears to have gotten layered chronologically, as a relevant addendum is found below original input. It's undesirable here as a reader may feel thwarted seeing unnecessarily cumbersome operations lie ahead. I don't do command line coding so I'm glad I read on. I might have missed a shortcut needed to prepare my schematics for creative commons dissemination.
