Remove all instances of xlink:href

[benkasminbullock]

Apparently xlink:href is obsolete and should be replaced with href:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href

I used this script to replace them all:

#!/home/ben/software/install/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
use FindBin '$Bin';
use File::Slurper qw!read_text write_text!;
my @svgs = <$Bin/images/svg/*.svg>;
for my $file (@svgs) {
    my $text = read_text ($file);
    if ($text =~ s!xlink:href!href!g) {
	write_text ($file, $text);
    }
}

Heya, we discussed this a few years ago - #184

At the time, Safari didn't render without xlink. And we couldn't convert to Android Drawables. Do you know if these issues have been fixed?

That issue appears to have been resolved:

But several of the Super Tiny Icons use href without xlink so I guess it should be consistent.

Only two, after just a quick manual glance; google_drive.svg and tiktok.svg.

Because they are SVG2, they do not display correctly using Ubuntu Image viewer and/or Inkscape and/or Emacs image display mode. For more info, see #543
