About

The SVG 1.1 DTD is the only schema W3C published for SVG. It is strict: attributes from other namespaces (such as Inkscape's or Sketch's) and SVG 2 features are reported, which is useful to clean files for older renderers and print workflows.

This entry uses the flattened, single-file form of the DTD.

Good to know

  • libxml2 warns that the DTD declares the xml:space attribute of style twice; the warning comes from the DTD itself and can be ignored.
  • Browsers render SVG 2 and many non-standard attributes that this DTD reports; an error here does not mean a browser will fail to show the image.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.
