Hi everyone, One of the problem I still with SVG 1.2 is the fact that it focus on "3.1 Text Wrapping" instead of "object wrapping". This is a major issue, in the sense that we cannot have "justified" graphics only justified text. Basically, it would be much better if we could justify <text> or <g> or <use> tags Section "3.1.11 The flowImage element" suggest that this would be possible, I would really appreciate to see "classical" textual document display aka Word-style in SVG. Things like this: <pre> ----------------------------------- --------------------------[.......] --------------------------[.......] --Justified-Text----------[.......] --with image align right--[.......] --------------------------[.......] ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ../\..-ligned text with-capital---- ./__\.-paragraph letter on 3 lines- /....\-like in some textbooks------ ----------------------------------- Centered images one after the other on different lines ................ ....[--1--].... ......[2]...... ...[---3---]... ................ ..[--1--][2].. ...[---3---]... ................ Such examples should be easy enough to generate I was expecting something like: justify 'both' 'left' 'center' 'right' 'none' interline '1.0' '1.5' '2.0' ... <flowdiv justify='both'> <flowpara> Some text with some images <image xlink:href='a.png'/> and more text than a <flowline/> with some other text... </flowpara> <flowpara> Did you saw this cat <image xlink:href='cat.png'/> ? <flowline/> </flowpara> </flowdiv> A syntax that would allow such thing with a bit more tags is okay as long as it does not require extensive transformation or calculation, such that it would not be prohibitive for normal cases. It should be a no brainer to mismatch SVG with text with normal text flow without requiring any emcascript again for normal cases. </pre> Sincerely yours, Fred. >The SVG Working Group has been very busy dating supermodels >and fighting crime over the past few months.
