The "not svg" is definitely SVG. Why do you think it isn't? The only
issue I see is that the top row of numbers isn't quite aligned like the
other image.
I also noticed that it's missing the line drawings.
They are in there, but for specific setups with the proper stuff. Thus
the compatibility option Martin told me to use..
Eye of Mate tells me it's SVG, yet "file" says they're all ASCII text.
Strictly speaking they are all text, but I would have thought that the
file command recognised SVG *content*. It certainly recognises other
content, such as HTML in a non ".html" named file.
"file" tells me "SVG Scalable Vector Graphics image, ASCII text" for
both.
svg is basically XML with content to tell a graphics module how to make
the graphic. Thus they ARE ascii text files.
Which is "neat". In my IETF Internet Draft writing, I can have an image
that in classic IETF ascii Draft mode, provides ascii art. But for the
HTML of PDF versions of Drafts (supported in IETF for a number of years
now), our XML2RFC python script will properly include the svg art.
The Draft source file is all text, and xml at that (I don't use the
MarkDown stuff). Geany makes it really easy to edit, as I can collapse
any xml block (like these svg blocks!) that I am not editing and they
get in the way of me "seeing" the text I want to edit.
BTW, the first drafts I wrote were back in '94 and you all use the
resultant RFC: 1918. Back then it was use Word or such (actually, I
think I was still using WordPerfect then) and have it print out a text
file. Or be a real UNIX person and use EMACS....
Along the way there were various advances in drafting tools. xml2rfc was
a MAJOR improvement.
