Docs missing how to render SVG instead of GIF

Currently cast2gif can't render SVG's. Initially cast2gif started out creating SVG representations of the terminal frames and then rendering them internally, but it turned out rather slow compared to manually rendering the fonts using the fontkit crate so I stopped using the SVG technique.

Even when it was using SVG, I never got it setup with animated SVG generation. If you need SVG output term2svg works well. ( obviously not as convenient as having it in one tool, though ).

It would be possible to bring back the SVG-based frame renderer, the start to which is still in the codebase, but I don't have the time for it myself.

Okay, I see. I was searching for SVG renderer, but I can stick with GIFs for now. Thanks for non-JS toolkit :)

No problem. So glad it's helpful. :)
