Note: for SVG beginners like myself, it can be useful to index the SVG tags themselves (or even some properties). Indexing <use> or <path> won't be very useful, indeed, but indexing <font-face> or <clipPath> would be more interesting, as they are still quite rarely used so it is difficult to find various good examples. -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- Professional programmer and amateur artist -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
