But people would have to specify two filenames (one in SVG, the other in VML) to replace the pre-existing symbol catalogue files and it's not still the ideal solution but perhaps it's the only one. > I'm currenlty working on provision of per-entry icons (images) for > georss feeds.

For the moment, symbols are associated with points geometry with a style.use="symbol" in the same way as images were associated with style.externalGraphic. So, I haven't looked in detail to the way you attach icons to GeoRss nodes but it seems that you would be able to use SVG and VML symbols as well as images.
I hope to make progress before your development pause ends :-) > Ian. > > 1. http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1073 > 2. > http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/ianmayo/branches/rss/openlayers/examples/georss.html > > _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
