9437	Allow the use of inline SVG in posts	codedread	anonymous	"My WordPress 2.5 install serves the application/xhtml+xml MIME type (true XHTML) for the purposes of inlining SVG which I've done on my 'blog chrome'.  However, if I try to inline SVG in the contents of a post as follows:

<svg xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"">
  <circle cx=""50"" cy=""50"" r=""30"" fill=""blue"">
    <animateTransform attributeName=""transform"" type=""scale"" to=""1.5"" dur=""2s"" fill=""freeze""/>
  </circle>
</svg>

WordPress mangles it into:

<svg xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg""><br />
  <circle cx=""50"" cy=""50"" r=""30"" fill=""blue""><br />
    <animatetransform attributeName=""transform"" type=""scale"" to=""1.5"" dur=""2s"" fill=""freeze""/><br />
  </circle><br />
</svg>

There are two problems with this:

1) WordPress converts the <animateTransform> element into a <animatetransform> element.  WordPress should at least preserve the case of the element (whether this is on a whitelist of SVG elements or all elements I don't care).  List of SVG elements are here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/eltindex.html

2) The extra <br /> elements.  These are forgivable since the elements are simply ignored by the browser's SVG parser.

Can someone confirm the behavior in WordPress 2.7.x?"	feature request	reopened	normal	Future Release	Formatting	2.5	normal		needs-patch	codedread@… blizzard@…
