About

This plugin is based on the nice 'Html Image Map Plugin' from Richard Duivenvoorde and it uses SVG instead the of HTML5 map tag.

The output can be embedded by using the object tag like this:

 <object data="my_first_svg_image_map.svg" type="image/svg+xml" id="eventmap" width="1024" height="768">
   <img src="my_first_svg_image_map.png" width="1024" height="768" alt="Alternate to SVG image">
 </object>

Note to self: https://www.mediaevent.de/svg-in-html-seiten/

The resulting files can be edited and since a template file is used users who know Jinja2 template syntax can modify the plugin output. For learning the Jinja2 template syntax see the official Template Designer Documentation and a tutorial.
