@beep Interesting timing, I added the same thing to one of my worry stones last week. I wanted more control over the text formatting than image generation tools like Imagemagick give so I created an SVG with `id`s for the text and then replace the content of those XML nodes with my text before rendering it as a raster image. https://hachyderm.io/@decadecity/114353099016639759 Standard disclaimer: there is no right/wrong/better/best solution to worry stone problems - the process of finding one's own solution is the point of doing it, any "deliverable outcome" is a handy byproduct.

  • @decadecity I love this! The trickiness around multiline text in SVG was one of the things that sent me down the ImageMagick path in the first place, but I’m delighted you got a solution working. Maybe I’ll give it another go at some point.
