<p>The <strong><code>version</code></strong> attribute is used to indicate what specification a SVG document conforms to. It is only allowed on the root {{SVGElement("svg")}} element. It is purely advisory and has no influence on rendering or processing.</p>

<p>While it is specified to accept any number, the only two valid choices are currently <code>1.0</code> and <code>1.1</code>.</p>

<pre class="brush: html; highlight[1]">&lt;svg version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt;
  &lt;rect x="10" y="10" width="80" height="80"/&gt;
