Part of the background to this post is that I'm starting to explore how to use SVG images. Another part is that I dabbled with website design in the olden days, and always made sure that the HTML files validated to W3C standards.

I've experimented with a Coverpage.html file adapted from a file which I understand is used by Sigil. But when I checked it with the W3C markup validation service it indicated 11 errors: there is no attribute xmlns, height, preserveAspectRatio, version, viewbox, width, xlmns:xlink, svg, width, xlink:href, and image for this element in this HTML version.

I tried using the xhtml 1.0 transitional doctype, but it made no difference.

It is easy to put height, width, and image attributes in the stylesheet, but I couldn't manage the others. Is there any way to put them in the stylesheet? or to make the file validate in some other way?
