I have a bunch of images in the documentation of a package. These images are generated on the fly by the `docs/make.jl` as last values of `@example` blocks, and are rendered as SVG by a `Base.show(out_io::IO, ::MIME"image/svg+xml", ...)` method.

Is there a way I can scale these images, eg to 200% of their original size? I suspect that this can by done in CSS, and I should be looking at the `article img` selector, but what property to add.

I found the [`zoom`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/zoom) CSS property, which works fine, but it is fairly recent. Still, the worst that can happen is that images remain the original size.

[`scale(...)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform-function/scale) is much older and widely supported, but then the image will “pop” from the container, which is not resized accordingly.
