After a bit of conversation in LT, I decided to code up a not present in Acmlmboards feature... particularly, you can now embed XML-described vector graphics in the SVG format directly into your posts using the [svg] tag. The format for it is as follows:
[svg width height]
<some SVG commands here, minus the header and footer>
[/svg]
For a reference of what you can do, ask your local google.

As for the compatibility, it works in Firefox, but IE6 lacks a plugin to view it... not sure about other browsers. Either way, I don't see why this might not come in handy the one or other way.

For an example of its usage,

To illustrate what I did there, the same thing with a code tag wrapped around it: 
[svg 200 100]
<text
       style="font-size:10px;text-anchor:start;color:#ffffff;fill:#10ff30;stroke:none;stroke-width:1;font-family:Lucida Console"
       id="text34"
       x="20"
       y="20">
      <tspan
         id="tspan36">internet = series of tubes</tspan></text>
<circle cx="40" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<circle cx="60" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<circle cx="80" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<circle cx="100" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<circle cx="120" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<circle cx="140" cy="50" r="15" style="stroke:#5070FF;stroke-width:2px;fill:none" />
<text
       style="font-size:14px;text-anchor:start;color:#ffffff;fill:#10ff30;stroke:none;stroke-width:1;font-family:MS Mincho"
       id="text34"
       x="20"
       y="90">
      <tspan
         id="tspan36">月語です～！</tspan></text>
[/svg]

Beware though, apparently at least Firefox' SVG parser is much more strict about XML standards than the (X)HTML parser is, so parameters not enclosed in quotation marks, not properly closed tags etc. will inevitably yield parser errors.

On another probably relevant note, Inkscape can output SVGs if you are feeling lazy.

Regards.

Nah, I think I'll make Mario. (SUCCESS)

It might be Adobe, it might be IE7... it might even be the combination of the two but...

Last view: 5635 days 		I'm going to say it's IE, since opening the thread in IE Tab -> blank picture boxes. The only problem with this I see is that the images are slow, they take longer to scroll than the rest of the page, and lag up the thread. And IE users can't see them, and that population does exist.

Yeah, the funny thing is that I can see .svg files in IE when I open them.

LOL. This is the best good sir. Posts like this are why I come to board2 for intelligent conversation, rather than that other board where they all try to act like 4chan.
