After writing yesterday’s blog entry on Re-coding Apple’s Black Friday dates I realised I had missed the bleedin’ obvious solution. That instead of wrangling CSS and HTML, SVG could’ve been the better option.
When I was developing the SVG panel for principles on the Stuff & Nonsense about page, I ran into a problem which could only be fixed using <foreignObject>.
Given that SVG makes it possible to create cool compositions of images and text, I’m surprised I rarely see designers and developers using it for more than just icons.
