Comment 2 for bug 171049

Hi all,

The idea is that you might sometimes have small glyph or icon drawings which you would like to float in the text. This is quite easy to do in HTML: for example there are small icons next to many list items on this page.

However it can't really be done in SVG 1.1. SVG 1.2 does have a specification for this as part of the flowRoot specification: a tag called flowImage. This should appear at the level of a flowPara, and would contain the small graphic which you want to place inline in the text.
