Introduction The SVG <path> element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use!
