TIL SVGs can have text. Selectable text! And the font is determined by the client, apparently (at least, I’m getting different fonts in two different browsers I tried).

This completely changes my view of what an SVG fundamentally is. I always thought of it as an image format but I guess it’s really a…document format? Huh. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Now I wonder what kind of layout tools it has. Could you make a whole web site in SVG format? I see a new rabbit hole in my future…
