Support for Sketch

Created by: Eitot

The application Sketch is a fairly popular vector application on the Mac. I hope that support could be added at some point. Just for documentary purposes, some Sketch-specific inclusions that would need to be scrubbed (I haven’t found a complete specification yet):

• Namespace: xmlns:sketch="http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch/ns"
• Header:
  • <!-- Generator: Sketch X.Y.Z (01234) - http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch --> (will be removed with --enable-comment-stripping)
  • <title>[...]</title> (title of the exported Sketch object)
  • <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc>
• In Sketch you can create separate pages, which seem to be exported even though they have no purpose in an SVG file anyway. I generally remove it after using Scour and have not encountered any problems as of yet.

<g id="Page-1" stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" sketch:type="MSPage">
    <g id="[same as <title>]" sketch:type="MSLayerGroup">
        [...]
    </g>
</g>

• Sketch-specific attributes:
  • sketch:alignment (for <text>, not supported natively)
  • sketch:name (only seen in <mask> so far)
  • sketch:type (values: MSPage, MSShapeGroup, MSLayerGroup, MSTextLayer)
