Editing SVG (section)

=== Version 2 ===

SVG 2 removes or deprecates some features of SVG 1.1 and incorporates new features from [[HTML5]] and [[Web Open Font Format]] (WOFF):<ref name=diff/>

* For example, SVG 2 removes several font elements such as <code>glyph</code> and <code>altGlyph</code> (replaced by the WOFF).
* The <code>xml:space</code> attribute is deprecated in favor of CSS.
* HTML5 features such as <code>translate</code> and <code>data-*</code> attributes have been added.
* Text handling features from SVG Tiny 1.2 are annotated as to be included, but not yet formalized in text.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html |title=Chapter 11: Text |date=2020-05-26 |publisher=World Wide Web Consortium |access-date=31 December 2020 |archive-date=21 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421072120/https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Some other 1.2 features are cherry picked in,<ref name=diff>{{cite web |url=https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/changes.html |title=Appendix K: Changes from SVG 1.1 |date=2020-05-26 |publisher=World Wide Web Consortium |access-date=31 December 2020 |archive-date=4 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204140232/https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/changes.html |url-status=live }}</ref> but SVG 2 is not a superset of SVG tiny 1.2 in general.
