inside the svg itself, in which case it could </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">(theoretically) have a z-order among the inner svg elements that represent the </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">patch objects. </i></div>

</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, this could change. We all share the same vendor in Purr-Data right?</div>

<div><i>>Personally, I think it'd be more useful to have a patch contained/displayed </i></div>
<div><i>within an html file. That's actually how patches are rendered in Purr Data </i></div>
<div><i>anyway. (There just doesn't happen to be much content in the html other than </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">the svg itself.) So adding the ability to specify a different html "template" than </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">the generic one I'm using
would be a way to do that.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This has a lot of benefits. Can you elaborate the specification for doing such thing?.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div><i>>Still, keep in mind I didn't design the GUI to be able to do any of this. It's been </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">an incremental port using the tcl/tk code as a stand-in for a spec. So even adding </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">the ability to
display arbitrary html content in a patch window would probably </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">require some careful consideration and refactoring.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, as of “refactoring” I propose starting with the simpler straigth forward option that you can devise.</div>
<div>As of “careful consideration” I think first there must be a starting point.</div>
<div><br>

<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div><i>>Also-- to the extent possible I'd like to keep the "Pd-land" syntax distinct from </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">"Web-land". For example, I use a small subset of the svg specification to extend </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">data structure drawing
in Purr Data. But I do it with simple Pd atoms/messages, </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">not with XML.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Probably your right, I`ve read Iohannes saying something like “XML is rather difficult not only to Pd” iirc.</div>
