Hi, I also thought about rendering by outputting SVG and would like to give it a try.
I am closing this, as we (@fenjalien and I) decided to not use an SVG backend (yet).
These are the rough points about it:
We basically don't get any benefit, what svg does provide we've already figured out in a way that works. So if we do spend the effort and time reworking we don't gain enough. There's also still talk of Typst getting improved drawing tools in the future which we may want to switch to. So in the end its too much of a risk of wasted effort.
some of these are null points but would annoy me as we implement it
This might be an opportunity for drawing... see https://typst.app/docs/changelog/ and https://typst.app/docs/reference/visualize/image/#image-decode
What do you think?
