Re: [rfc-i] Inserting SVG graphics into an IETF draft

["Paul Duffy (paduffy)" <paduffy=[e-mail]>]

Hi Martin

I offered the Alex/Bob example as simply that ... a simple example.  A starting point to focus this discussion.

The actual diagrams I have coming are far more complex.

Cheers

I still draw ASCII art.  It seems like you could do the same for this example.

aasvg [1] produces acceptable SVG from ASCII art that is guaranteed to be acceptable to svgcheck and RFC 7996 [2].  Example: https://httpwg.org/http2-spec/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2bis.html#figure-2

[1] https://github.com/martinthomson/aasvg
[2] With default options and one caveat: it puts width and height attributes on the <svg> element, which xml2rfc doesn't like.  But xml2rfc is wrong to complain.
