The svg of .svg
summary
Explains concrete SVG techniques: how viewBox vs viewport and preserveAspectRatio (meet vs slice) let an SVG crop, scale and position non‑SVG images so a single <svg><image> snippet replaces CSS cropping; uses the padding‑hack for responsive SVGs and documents IE/old Android quirks; shows a working luminance mask to fake alpha so a JPEG serves with PNG‑like transparency; demonstrates inlining text for searchable/selectable labels used on Smashing Magazine illustrations and a switch/object pattern to provide fallbacks while avoiding double downloads.
