Description kevin_flynn 2005-02-15 12:01:31 UTC 
The SVG generated by the SVG export function does not have a namespace specified
in the root element. This causes SVG files generated by OO to be rejected by
some programs: the two I know about are:

 - Inkscape SVG editor
 - RenderX XEP XSL-FO Processor

In both cases, editing the output SVG file and replacing:

<svg width="62mm" height="26mm" viewBox="0 0 6200 2600">

with

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="62mm" height="26mm" viewBox="0 0
6200 2600">

(for example)

solves the problem.

I can't reproduce this but I think you are the right person for this.

Add Linux to the O/S list where this problem shows.

Add Firefox 1.5 beta 1 to the list of applications that cannot read the exported
SVG files.

I confirm that adding the xmlns attribute as described fixes this problem,
although other bugs mean that text is still illegible and lines are invisible.

This bug cause OOo exported SVG to be not shown on Firefox 1.5 Beta
1(http://jwatt.org/svg/authoring/).
The svg's namespace(http://www.w3.org/2000/svg) and the xlink's
namespace(http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink)(if used) is require.
