RE: Error in "An SVG Primer for Today's Browsers"

He is on this list, but I'll confess that not a lot of maintaining has been
done recently. I have been keeping a collection of these mistakes as they
are reported and hope to make corrections sometime during the spring
semester.

 

Thanks for reporting it!

 

Cheers

David

Hi, 

 

Hopefully the maintainer of the document "An SVG Primer for Today's
Browsers" is on this list. I sent to the mailing list in the document
itself, <public-svg-ig@w3.org >, but received an automessage back that it's
no longer active and suggesting this one.

 

Shortly after this point in the document:

 

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html#graphics31

 

in the example for a text path, which has this code:

 

<defs>

<path id="curve" d="M 10 100 C 200 30 300 250 350 50"
stroke="black" fill="none" stroke-width="5" />

</defs>

<text id="T" style="font-family:ariel;font-size:16">

<textPath xlink:href="curve">Hello, here is some text lying along a bezier
curve.</textPath>

</text>

 

the attribute xlink:href="curve" should instead be xlink:href="#curve".

 

Thanks,
