Re the SVG file we were given. I did this conversion for Greg, so thought I might as well forward to you too. The original from the transform is html, but included here as text. 1. I think it is invalid to the given DTD. I'm checking that out. 2. The text is broken into part lines, since SVG cannot wrap it. 3. None of the g elements have title attributes. 4. For what its worth, here it is. I sorted it by y position, then x position, trying to read top left to bottom right. It may be possible to order by font size, to get an indication of relative importance, but its a bit more work, its buried in attributes like, quote: style="font-size: 9;font-family: Arial;fill:black" unquote. XSLT can dig it out, but I haven't. Here it is. I included the text element positions, for what its worth. Regards, DaveP File starts.
