The <foreignObject> SVG element includes elements from a different XML namespace. In the context of a browser, it is most likely (X)HTML.
<foreignObject>
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <style> div { color: white; font: 18px serif; height: 100%; overflow: auto; } </style> <polygon points="5,5 195,10 185,185 10,195" /> <!-- Common use case: embed HTML text into SVG --> <foreignObject x="20" y="20" width="160" height="160"> <!-- In the context of SVG embedded in an HTML document, the XHTML namespace could be omitted, but it is mandatory in the context of an SVG document --> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed mollis mollis mi ut ultricies. Nullam magna ipsum, porta vel dui convallis, rutrum imperdiet eros. Aliquam erat volutpat. </div> </foreignObject> </svg>
