End of section 2

The Markdown TOC doesn't link to anything, which makes reading on Github kind of a pain.

Deprecated since SVG 2

Mentioned in Section 1 > use Element

I know the current definition of the viewBox in the book is closer to what is said in the spec, but it would be easier for an average reader to understand the concept of the viewBox if it would be explained using bottom-up approach, i.e.:

1. The SVG canvas has infinite size and contains elements that are positioned and sized using abstract, non-physical units.
2. The sole purpose of the viewBox attribute is to define a finite rectangular area of the infinite canvas for the purpose of rendering (because you can't render something that has infinite size on finite medium such a screen).
3. The viewport is a finite rectangular area of the screen into which the canvas area specified by the viewBox will be rendered. "preserveAspectRatio" attribute of the viewport element specifies algorithm to be used in order to fit the viewBox area.

Hi Joni,
I am enjoying the svg pocket guide, but as soon as I get into section 2 I want to understand the coordinate system. Is (0,0) at the bottom left? For the line example and your staircase example, does the code start drawing at the top or the bottom? One little sentence to clarify this would be helpful.

There is a duplicate zipped folder within the audio file download resulting in a mega huge file. Remove the zipped version.

Hello,

Thanks for doing this book! It's fantastic.

However, I printed a copy and found that every page had a banner at the top with "TOC v" (where the "v" represents a down-arrow). This wouldn't be a big deal, but it covers up lines of content on several pages.

It'd be great if the code could be modified to hide the "

I'll do a fix and pull request, if you like.

Thanks again!
