Re: [ANN] Show the latest version of the library on your Github README page
Thank you for this! What could be done to make the text highlightable/copyable?

Re: [ANN] Show the latest version of the library on your Github README page
The inability to select the text in SVG comes from img tag limitations. The following two ways of embedding SVG image into the webpage allows selecting text in both Webkit browsers and Firefox (in the latter via double-clicking and then right-click-Copy): object data=https://clojars.org/leiningen/latest-version.svg; type=image/svg+xml/object embed src=https://clojars.org/leiningen/latest-version.svg; type=image/svg+xml / Unfortunately, Github supports neither of them in its READMEs/wikis. So it can be used only when you have direct access to page's HTML, for instance on your own website or Github Pages. Perhaps the inclusion of embed on Github might be lobbied someday, but I'm afraid not in the foreseeable future.
