I can't find a complete syntax reference tho. This is the best page I found so far: https://flaviocopes.com/svg/ The .svg extension in Emacs gives me the major mode `nxml-mode' nXML mode defined in ‘nxml-mode.el’: Major mode for editing XML. So a file test.svg: works well! Only not in feh(1), my image viewer [1] - but with $ convert test.svg test.png I get a PNG!
