Hi Brian,
Thanks for your thoughts. I guess I sounded more than a little
mercenary when I was hunting for search engine indexing of names in
genealogy records :-) This is important to most family history sites
but as well if these records are placed as images any browser or
person who cannot see images loses access to the information contained
within them.
Could there be a case that these records are actually tabular data?
An HTML table would probably be more straightfoward than wrestling
with svg or grappling with increasingly bloated css.
Thanks again,
Andrew
