Add support for loading data from a static iframe, works now on the l…

(without having an http server running), and in particular should work in Anki cards. A script allows converting svg files into iframe-loadable html files.

Thanks @maurizio, it looks very interesting. I am currently traveling with limited access to Internet. Will try to check it by end of the week.

While I like the idea, I'd have preferred to not have to convert once again the whole kanji set. I also feel adding a Ruby dependency is a drawback. Could'nt a simple shell script do this ?

Hi Axel, Matthieu, Sadly I verified that it does not work in Anki, that was only useful point in having data loaded from iframe rather than via xhr! So I will not ask for merge, I will leave my branch there in case the idea can be recycled by someone doing something else. Regards,

One month late to reply... apologize :-1: First at all thanks for your work, I love the idea of having dmak in Anki!

The point here is dmak is just about rendering. It takes a JS data structure and "simply" render it. How this data structure is populated is a distinct process and you are not tie to a specific loader. The library does provide a default loader but you can easily bypass this and implement your own loader (ie: set option skipLoad to true). Side note: do not plan to add more loader in dmak.js any additional loader should be in a different repo

This was for a different purpose but few months years ago I wrote this tiny parser kvg2js which parses KanjiVG files into JS files for dmak. Instead of using HTML files, what about loading JS files dynamically? Like below: It was a bit hacky but I managed to make it work on the demo page.

var importScript = (function (oHead) {

  function loadError (oError) {
    throw new URIError("The script " + oError.target.src + " is not accessible.");
  }

  return function (sSrc, fOnload) {
    var oScript = document.createElement("script");
    oScript.type = "text\/javascript";
    oScript.onerror = loadError;
    if (fOnload) { oScript.onload = fOnload; }
    oHead.appendChild(oScript);
    oScript.src = sSrc;
  }

})(document.head || document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]);
