webmapping using a font only!
Yes, it is possible to have people make a choropleth map on a webpage by only having them supply a list of states and colours, using only HTML and CSS.
So how does it work? Each state is a glyph within a special font. For example, "va" generates the glyph of the state of Virginia and "dc" the District of Columbia. Additionally, the ligature "usa" produces a character of the full US map.
