[solved] Can't open SVG files

Postby nemodot » Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:20 am

I'm using Inkscape 0.92 on Linux Mint,

I made a couple of svg files with a programm called jemboss, I can open it with the regular viewer, but Inkscape gives me an error message. I even have the complete code for the file. I upload the code to a web app that generates svg files, but it still won't open it. This is the svg opened in my web browser

Might be best to post a link to an example file for examination.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

This is one of the files. I could also give you the entire code.

The file seems to be generated with the svg elements inside "document" tags...

e.g.

Code: Select all

<document>
<svg>
svg stuff
</svg>
</document>


If the document tags are removed, the file opens in Inkscape.
