Hi Rune Kaagaard, hope you're well today :)

I'm loving Hypergen. Talk about tidying things up! Thanks.

Does Hypergen handle SVG? Such as:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="yellow" />
</svg>

</body>
</html>

[Credit w3schools.com]

which hyperfy.py returns as:

from django.templatetags.static import static
from hypergen.imports   import *      # included by me

def my_hypergen_template():
    with html():
        with body():
            with svg(width="100", height="100"):
                circle(cx="50", cy="50", r="40", stroke="green", stroke_width="4", fill="yellow")

Which fails with:
NameError: name 'circle' is not defined

I've been rooting around in Hypergen's docs and source, but can't find any references, apols if I'm missing the obvious.

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi, great to hear someone is checking out the project :) No you are right all the svg tags are not built into hypergen to avoid spamming the namespace. Let me get back to you on how to get them.

Awesome, thanks Rune Kaagaard ~ I thought I was going nuts :D

I'll be pleased to ditch my AJAX libs if Hypergen can handle this.

Cheers!

Hi, I just push a small svg demo at e9367a6 where I've created the missing svg elements in the svg.py file that you can copy to your own project. You can see the demo here: https://hypergen.it/misc/svg_demo/

Do let me know if you hit any issues :)

Heya Rune Kaagaard, hope you're well.

First glance looks great, but I'll have to dig deeper later today.

Tusind tak for hjælpen! o7

Awesome!

Thanks for taking the time on this Rune Kaagaard. That's perfect for me to get cracking!

I'm undertaking production of a business system that it now seems will rely heavily on Hypergen. I'll be happy to fill you in with some details, but this isn't really the appropriate place for that. If you're interested contact me via [email protected] and I'll get back to you with my private email. Don't worry, I won't be seeking to waste your time, I've got plenty on as it is!

Thanks again, catch you soon(tm).

Take care,
Pete
