[Inkscape-user] What does "sodipodi" in svg file?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I draw something in Inkscape and save in the svg file. But I don't
understand what "sodipodi" means? I couldn't find it in the SVG manual
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVG11-20030114/paths.html.

Would you please help me if you know what it means?

Thanks,
Peng

Sodipodi is the earlier project that Inkscape was forked from. So
that "sodipodi" was used as namespacing while development was under
that project name.

Suppose that I want to modify the code that Inkscape geneated, can I
simply delete all the "sodipodi"'s?

You would need to delete the tags containing sodipodi, not just he word
sodipodi. A better option would be to save as "Plain SVG" which shouldn't
include any of the Sodipodi (or Inkscape only) markup.

the sodipodi: is the namespace, the x, y r etc are the variables that
let the shapes remain as live shapes in inkscape rather than being
paths. If your not fussed about editing them in this way again, go
ahead and delete them. If you want a file without them in the first
place, save as plain svg rather than inkscape svg, and it wont write
out any thing other than the svg namespace.
