Explainer placeElement technical paper [public] <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zIvUIdRSEQDXa5SEEqaOKhqyRM6w8ALj-GmzADia4dk/edit#heading=h.yxl2cj85bazz> Specification None Summary placeElement() allows users of 2D and 3D canvases to draw arbitrary HTML elements into their canvas rendering contexts. This allows for greater flexibility in text rendering and accessibility for canvases. Blink component Blink>Canvas <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3ECanvas> Motivation Text support on canvas is far behind the rest of the web: it is not indexable nor accessible and multiline rendering is challenging and limited. placeElement() proposes an API that allows users to bring the power of HTML/CSS text formatting into canvases by drawing HTML elements within canvas rendering contexts. This will not only allow webapps that use 2D or 3D canvases to leverage all the text formatting and styling options available to HTML (not to mention the possibility of scrolling, spellcheck, translate, etc.), but makes all of HTML available to canvas! Radio buttons with chromatic aberration! Platformer games with dropdown menus as obstacles! The possibilities are endless.
