Having recognized the power of SVG only recently
(maybe HTML5 is going to embrace all its relevant dedicated powers rather
soonish anyway …),
I now wanted to make use of SVG for the banner "images".
Well, first I simply replaced the PNG with an SVG here:
<config param="homebanner-tabular" value="graphics/homebanner.png"
altval="Home Banner"/>
But during all my difficult attempts
of making use of SVG generated by Adobe Illustrator
I couldn't quite clearly see, where all my trouble originated.
After I had sorted the Adobe Illustrator SVG trouble itself,
I had to learn from here
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SVGimages.html
that my HTML would have to make use of the EMBED tag instead of the IMG tag.
Well "my" browsers being Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, that is not a problem,
they all accept EMBED.
But how do I get my layout.xml to create the EMBED tag?
Looking through the "xsl/" subdirectory of my Website installation,
I am getting the impression, SVG is not getting mentioned there.
Any suggestions?
Me being a perl+ruby hacker
I can very well imagine postprocessing the HTML
and replacing code like this
<img align="left" border="0" src="graphics/banner.svg" alt="Banner">
with code like this
<embed align="left" border="0" src="graphics/banner.svg" alt="Banner"
type="image/svg+xml">
That's part of my webscraper competence… ;-)
But me *not* being an XSL hacker, what choice do I have?
Asking an XSL hacker here for his Amazon wishlist? :-)
Kind regards,
J.
