SVG conformance ?

[Kochise]

Hi, currently writing a LaTeX package to add mermaid support, it appears Inkscape (and inkview.exe) cannot interpret correctly the produced svg output, ie. from your own example :

stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Still
Still --> [*]
Still --> Moving
Moving --> Still
Moving --> Crash
Crash --> [*]

Check this out :

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brownlee-svg-rfc-13 <- https://tools.ietf.org/id/svg

Please check the result not just in web browsers, but also with more conformant and less forgiving tools.

Btw you're not the only one to produce "strange" svg files, https://github.com/sverweij/state-machine-cat is also pretty "lazy" regarding svg conformance and Inkscape compatibility...

Anyway, good job overall...
