And another unfortunate security thing I learned today is that .svg files can contain JavaScript, and that your browser will happily execute that if someone directly views your image (so not through ![]()
). This has consequences for anyone hosting user supplied images. Thank you Wander Nauta for pointing this out. The painful story is here: https://github.com/berthubert/trifecta/issues/38

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
