SVG and xlink:href

[Stephan Müller <sm...@mail.inf.tu-dresden.de>]

Hello,

I want to copy a SVG into a repository. After that, other images and SVG being used by my SVG (with 
<image xlink:href=...> or <use xlink:href...>) cannot be found. Is there a possibility to transform 
a SVG, so that it no longer contains references to other files? At least I have to replace the 
relative links...

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi Stephan,

    This is doable, other options you might consider, use the
xml:base attribute to point to the original source location.

    The real problem with replacing the links is the need to
base64 encode the referenced content for JPG/PNG.  Also you
would need to 'import' content referenced by use to the local
document.  For the 'image' element referencing SVG you are
actually in a bit of trouble since I don't think we currently
support base64 encoded SVG data in image tags.  So you would
have to fake the image element with an SVG and copy the SVG file in
(which is probably the 'right' thing to do anyway).

xslt seems like a good choice here. Alternatively, you could define an 
entity in your document that contains the path, and reference this 
entity in you <image> and <xlink> tags. Then when you transfer it into 
the repository just replace the entity with the correct path.
