> screenshots

For browsers, there are extensions that can create SVG screenshots. They work by either copying or inlining CSS into the SVG. They don't work all the time, but worth giving a try first.

For Firefox, see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/svg-screensho..., it worked relatively well for me.

I was skeptical at first, thinking it must just embed the raster inside the SVG, but no, this is actually really cool!

The author also wrote the accompanying library, dom-to-svg: https://github.com/felixfbecker/dom-to-svg

It seems to capture the HTML and convert each element to a similar one on SVG. I'm still not sure how it handles raster images (does it just embed them? Vectorize them somehow?) but it's a really cool project. Thanks for sharing!
