Add path-length CSS property definition (Section 9.6.2)#1073
Merged
Conversation
Add a CSS property table for 'path-length' alongside the existing 'pathLength' attribute definition in the Paths chapter (Section 9.6.1). The 'path-length' property provides the author's computation of the total length of the path for distance-along-a-path calibration. The SVG 'pathLength' attribute maps to it as a presentation attribute. Also updates definitions.xml to register 'path-length' as a presentation attribute in the presentation attribute category. Includes a note referencing the CSS WG resolution from 22 January 2020. Addresses #773

@viralipurbey Thanks for working on this.
We should try to add the change to Changes section of the spec too.
See an example in https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/pull/1071/changes#diff-c7a9bad640ef0fed758e524f8762e900e665c8005337bb9988a2dffc62d04d6dR516-R521
