This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

| Using attributes | developers | Show s you have to use attributes on points, paths, and snippets |
Points, Paths, and Snippets all have attributes that you can use to influence how they behave.
A common scenario is to apply CSS classes to style a path:
paths.example.attributes.add('class', 'lining dashed');
Because it's so common to set attributes, Points, Paths and Snippets all have
the attr() helper method.
Not only is less more, the method is also chainable, which allows you to do this:
points.message = new Point(0,0)
.attr("data-text", "Hello world!")
.attr("data-text-class", "note");
In this example, we're using attributes to add text to our pattern. The adding-text documentation explains this in detail.
When rendering, FreeSewing will output all your attributes. This gives you the possiblity to use any valid attribute to control the appearance.
This is also why we use the data- prefix for those attributes that have
special meaning within FreeSewing, such as data-text. Adding a text attribute
would result in invalid SVG as there is no such thing as a text attribute. But data-text
is fine because the data- prefix indicates it is a custom attribute.
