wouldn't opacity=0 be like saying, "make this invisible"?

I figured out the reason the svg images weren't working and fixed them.
Apparently XEP doesn't support opacity="0" in svgs.

Subject: [docbook-apps] svg, pdf, png, and jpg callouts 1-99



I found myself wanting more than 10 callouts and wanting them too look crisp
in pdf, so I made some svg callouts (and used Batik to convert them to other
formats for use in html). I'm actually using the pdf version of the callouts
in my output because XEP wasn't rendering the svgs for me. It renders other
svgs fine, but I don't have time right now to mess with it. However, it
occurs to me that a better solution would be to have the DocBook xsls write
the svg directly into the fo. In fact, to make these, I just made one svg
with a circle and a character in the middle, then looped 99 times using sed
to number the callouts. Be aware tho that I manually tweaked #1 and #4 just
slightly to make them appear more centered and legible.

In any case, if someone wants to use them as is or work with this some more,
e.g. futz with the sizing to get it just right...mine are a little bigger
than the current callouts or incorporate them into the DocBook xsls so they
put the svg directly into the fo, feel free:

Btw., if you ever manage to use all 99 callouts in a programlisting, I'd
love to see it :-)
