karlcow has just merged kjanat's pull request 1116 for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Fix swapped href targets for open/closed subpath terms in definitions.xml == The four `<term>` entries for *open subpath* / *closed subpath* in `master/definitions.xml` have their `href` anchors swapped: each term links to the **opposite** definition. ### Current (on `main`) https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/blob/ad280d03e1794513cf31384a89b38f2f8d982925/master/definitions.xml#L1026-L1029 ```text <term name='open subpath' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> <term name='open subpaths' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> <term name='closed subpath' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> <term name='closed subpaths' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> ``` ### Why these are wrong The anchor IDs in `paths.html` are correctly named, so the term refs above point at the opposite definitions: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/blob/ad280d03e1794513cf31384a89b38f2f8d982925/master/paths.html#L405-L407 ```text <dfn id="TermClosedSubpath">closed subpath</dfn> ... <dfn id="TermOpenSubpath">open subpath</dfn> ``` So `name='open subpath'` resolves to the **closed**-subpath definition, and `name='closed subpath'` resolves to the **open**-subpath definition. ### Fix Swap the four `href`s so each term points at its matching definition: ```diff -<term name='open subpath' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> -<term name='open subpaths' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> -<term name='closed subpath' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> -<term name='closed subpaths' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> +<term name='open subpath' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> +<term name='open subpaths' href='paths.html#TermOpenSubpath'/> +<term name='closed subpath' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> +<term name='closed subpaths' href='paths.html#TermClosedSubpath'/> ``` ### Notes - Editorial / non-normative: this only corrects cross-reference link targets in the term index; no spec text or behavior changes, so no web-platform-tests PR is needed (per `CONTRIBUTING.md`).
