Embedded SVG

I wonder…

Interesting. So this example works (ignoring the CSS for now), but this example doesn’t (despite the sample page rendering fine)

Next step is to see if it works fine on the wiki (and on RISC OS browsers!), because inline SVG seems like it could be a good way of adding diagrams to many wiki pages (means the diagrams will be versioned & editable, unlike PNGs/etc. which have been uploaded to the wiki)

Will Draw then be updated to support saving SVG files?

Not for some time, I expect! Remember that SVG import would be needed as well, otherwise we’d miss out on the whole “editable” thing.

I was planning on just using something like SVG-Edit (which might work under Otter if you’re lucky)

Oh… I thought Draw was able to import SVG, although probably a version twenty years out of date…!

I had SVG support at one point, and then something changed and it broke again. The syntax is a lot more stable now (and a lot more BIG).

a lot more BIG

Very much so. This is why my !XP1Dr2SVG is a one way street.

In case people were wondering – the answer was No, embedded SVG’s don’t work in NetSurf.

But maybe SVG diagrams still make sense for the wiki. We can (presumably) upload them using the standard image uploader thing, and they’ll still be more editable than a PNG or JPEG. The only thing we’ll miss out on is proper versioning of changes (people would have to manually add version number suffixes to the filenames, so that the wiki will allow the new version to be uploaded?)
