"I was looking for a way to create images (think screenshots) of CSS layouts that I can use in HTML, EPUB and PDF files. This blog post describes my solution - which produces SVG images."
"Two JavaScript libraries that convert HTML to SVG # Both are useful, but the latter library works much better for my use case."
"I use html-to-svg as follows ( check out my solution online): A file can contain zero or more sections with CSS layout demos. This is an example of such a section: JavaScript code iterates over the sections and adds a <details> element: ▶︎ Download css-box-sizing.svg If you expand the details, you can see the generated SVG image. That lets you compare it with the HTML, etc. If you click on the download link, the browser downloads an SVG file to your disk."
html-to-svg converts HTML and CSS layouts into standalone SVG images suitable for embedding in HTML pages, EPUB documents, and PDFs. Two JavaScript libraries can convert HTML to SVG, with the second library providing better results for more complex layouts. The workflow places layout demos into sections, wraps each demo in a <details> element, generates an inline SVG preview, and adds a download link per demo (for example, css-box-sizing.svg). Expanding the details shows the generated SVG for visual comparison, and clicking the download link saves the SVG file to disk.
