This specification, EPUB Content Documents 3. HTML5, SVG, and CSS for use in the context of EPUB Publications. This specification is one of. SVG use with External Reference, Take 2. SVG has a lt use element which essentially means go find the chunk of SVG that has this identifier and kinda clone it and put it right here. Its an essential ingredient to an SVG icon system. There are some things to know about this that we havent covered before. As a reminder, it looks like this lt Reference IN THIS SAME DOCUMENT. EXTERNAL reference. That that icon 1 identifier likely references a symbol in that file, like. Box0 0 1. 02. 4 1. Kinda like alt textlt title. The beauty of an external reference is that it leverages browser cache well. Also that its simple to work with. HTML5. A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML. W3C Recommendation 28 October 2014. Directory File Purpose DynaTablewar DynaTable.

Cascading+Style+Sheets+%28CSS%29.jpg' alt='Referencing External Css File In Html' title='Referencing External Css File In Html' />You put the correct file path to the file the SVG sprite and reference an identifier, and it just works. You can have your server set to serve that file with all the correct headers such that the browser will hang onto it like it would any other asset you want to cache. The problem was IE, but its being fixed. Most browsers that supported inline SVG supported this, so it was almost usable, with the major exception of IE. Microsoft Windows 7 Media Player Skins. But they have now fixed that in Microsoft Edge. Bloodborne Pc here. Edge doesnt have massive market share yet, but it is the future on Windows, so eventually, well be able to start using this without any extra work. Because of the lack of perfect support, there are two major workaround choices. Include the SVG sprite in all the HTML documents themselves. Works great. Tends to be very fast, but it bloats the page cache. And to get the best support, you need to include it at the top of the document, which means slightly delayed rendering for likely more important content. Or. Ajax for the sprite. Which then can leverage browser caching. It can be tricky to do this though without a bit of FONI though Flash of No Icons. Once we can start using external references directly, its not the same. This concept eluded me and is why I wanted to write this article. I thought the external reference was the ultimate solution because it could do everything inline SVG referencing SVG in the same document could do. But unfortunately, it cant. SVG references this way has its own separate DOM. It goes beyond the regular Shadow DOM boundary that all lt use is subject to. With this lt svg classicon 1. You could write CSS in the same stylesheet you use for the rest of the site to color it This works. It will cascade this fill through the shapes. You can still do this with an externally referenced lt use, actually. But you cant style individual shapes like you could before. You could reach individual shapes. DOM. But this WONT WORK with externally referenced SVG. This wont work either way. DOM boundary. You cant get your hands on the internal shapes at all when you externally reference. For example, from the HTML document lt script. Referencing External Css File In Html' title='Referencing External Css File In Html' />Selector. All. path 1. Heres a gist that kinda belabors the point. Its still pretty cool. The fact that cascading in a single color still works makes it pretty useful. Most icons tend to be single color. And you can have different single colors still. Weird Future Stuff. Tab Atkins in his crazy future thinking ways has documented some potential future ideas called SVG params. Thats a CSS example, but presumably something inline SVG could use as well. Nope, the browser fetches the external file, and duplicates the used ltsymbols inside the document as a shadow DOM.
