I forgot to mention that you could use CSS to include the SVG image, or via an HTML img too. But however that works direct inclusion of SVG code would probably work too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To unsubscribe from this

I agree. And for other reasons too. Font Awesome can be useful in some narrow situations. But generally SVG is much more appropriate for what we need to do. I can't help on the specifics. SVG is not rendered via CSS, though it may use it. Its a thing in itself. SVG and TiddlyWiki are natural

Hey Hubert, I'm not sure that default html supports using a svg image in the placeholder field of the input box. I'm pretty sure that this affect is typically implemented via css. Take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13761654/html5-image-icon-to-input-placeholder to see how
