I would like to convert some somewhat straightforward web pages (no javascript, minimal CSS) into SVG for archiving. I am wondering if there is a suggested tool or workflow for this conversion?
My current thought is to somehow open the pages in Adobe Illustrator and then export to SVG. However, that "somehow" is a big question mark. Maybe something like this will open HTML into Illustrator?
Perhaps you can print it to a vector format like PDF which is in-principle convertible to SVG.
If you print to PDF you can try converting it to SVG using Inkscape and/or http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/opensource/pdf2svg.
You can also try printing to PS/EPS and converting via Uniconverter or Scribus. See Converting from EPS to SVG format
Here is a tool which gets you from html to pdf. Then you can step from pdf to svg (which is presumably easier than html to svg directly): http://wkhtmltopdf.org/
I would dig into some kind of text editor and write some XSL, transforming the HTML/XHTML to SVG. Transformation could be done in different ways.
Obviously this requires that your HTML is valid XML - and maybe it could be with some small changes.
One advantage to this approach is that you have 100% control over the result (SVG document). A disadvantage is that it's a little complicated.
