1.0 Spec, ZVON

  • Concise Definition for: <a>

The <a> element provides the mechanism for linking.


  • Comments/Explanations:

1) SVG uses XLink for all link definitions Question: What is XLink? Answer: A syntax that allows XML documents to link to other web resources.

2) SVG 1.0 only requires that user agents support XLink&apos;s notion of simple links Question: What are Simple links? Answer: A one-way connection between two resources. The link goes from a "source" resource(elements between the <a> element) to a "remote" resource(potentenually any web resource) Question: Does this mean all the elements in SVG can be links to remote resource? Answer: ?

Note: A simple source link is defined for each rendered element contained within the <a> element. This means that each rendered element contained between the <a> element&apos;s open and closing tags will be a simple source links.

example: If three circles are rendered that do not touch, only the circles are links not the space in between the circles.
