Re: [xsl] SVG Help

[Raffaele Sena <raff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kent,

I just run your code through my favorite XSLT processor (xt) and I 
think I got the correct result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<svg viewBox="0 0 800 400" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org.1999/xlink";>
<circle r="100" cx="50%" cy="50%" fill="orange" stroke="black" 
stroke-width="10"/>
<g text-anchor="middle" font-size="20" fill="red">
<desc>Timeline Markers</desc>
<text x="400" y="100">This is text</text>August</g>
</svg>

The text that you show seems to be exactly the plain text in the output 
XML file (the content of <g> <desc> and <text>).

You don't explain how do you run your transformation but I suspect that 
you do it through an XSLT-enabled web browser and you are expecting to 
see the output displayed by the Adobe SVG plugin (but instead you see 
the text as if the content was an HTML page with a lot of unknown tags).

One explanation could be that the "media-type" that you add to the 
<xsl:output> instruction doesn't correctly get converted to 
Content-Type in the HTTP response (and so the browser doesn't know that 
it should launch the SVG plugin).

Another explanation is that you define the namespaces for svg and xlink 
but then you never use them. Shouldn't you prepend the SVG tags with 
the "svg" namespace ? (i.e. <svg:svg>) or at least declare svg your 
default output namespace.

Hope this helps,

  Raffaele
