I was using devSVG to save plots of trees using the RSVGDevice package for devSVG and tree package for the trees. When I put text into the plot, obviously there are < and > symbols. These seem to be corrupting the svg file which is XML and makes use of <> for syntax. Is there any way around this, some setting in devSVG that I can turn on that will capture these things and make them syntactically correct for SVG or is this a bug in devSVG (in that case I'd like to report the bug). Or is this actually valid .svg in which case GIMP and Qt both have bugs. Thanks Kyle [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
