jTab – Guitar Chord and Tab Notation for the Web

jTab is a javascript-based library that allows you to easily render arbitrary guitar chord and tabulature (tab)
notation on the web. Automatically. It works in most modern browsers that support javascript, CSS and scalable vector graphics (SVG) –
for example, Firefox 3+, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

jTab was created and is maintained by Paul Gallagher (http://tardate.com) and released as open source for all to exploit. All are welcome to fork and update.

Kudos: Aside from just scratching a personal itch, jTab was greatly inspired by
Dmitry Baranovskiy’s fantastic work on the Raphaël SVG library (http://raphaeljs.com),
and Alex Gorbatchev’s syntaxhighlighter (http://www.dreamprojections.com/syntaxhighlighter) (for opening the door to what is possible!).
