Hi John. John C. Turnbull: > Is it possible with SVG to define "variables" which can then be referred to > in multiple places in the XML?
As Helder mentions, you could use entities to achieve this, but that wouldn’t allow you to change the variable’s value with script at display time. Work within the SVG Working Group on layout functionality is going to begin soon, and we’ll be starting with publishing a use case and requirements document. If the problem you are trying to solve with variables here is a layout one, then it would be appreciated if you could share it. (A proposal[1] from a while ago suggested functionality similar to what you used, but the WG would rather start from the use cases to determine what the best method for describing layout would be.)
