What I'm thinking of is diagrams, graphs or trees where the relative position of elements is what conveys the actual information.
In other cases, the information may not be destroyed entirely but much harder for people to see. For instance, automatically reflowing the London tube map would make it look totally unfamiliar.
- crabmusket 3y agoThe London tube map was definitely not what I had in mind when talking about "documents" in my OP. Of course some things need to have precise layout, but PDFs are used inappropriately for many things that do not.
- xigoi 3y agoFor diagrams, you can embed SVG in HTML, which obviously won’t reflow.
- boxed 3y agoI have never seen any of those kinds of examples reflow incorrectly in html.
