Re: Medusa was Re: Is it possible to use one SVG to contain other SVGs, in a way that also enables the user to copy the contained SVGs and paste them into another document, for instance into ms Word?

Paul,

My coding is so tacky that I can really never be sure if it's me or the

It's a pity that the images are pngs, rather than default to png, but 
looks excellent

thanks

Jonathan
