当包含内联时，我可以使用 <use> 标记重复使用图标，如下所示：
<svg width="32" height="32" viewBox="0 0 32 32">
<g>
<use xlink:href="#chat"/>
</g>
</svg>
问：是否可以将defs包含为外部文件？
答案 0 :(得分：7)
如果您想通过use添加外部SVG元素，只需在xlink:href属性中指定正确的IRI即可。如果你使用像#something这样的IRI，你指的是同一文档中something为id的元素，如果你需要从不同的文档中获取外部元素，你可以使用像external.svg#someotherthing之类的东西，这样IRI就会在名为id的文件中显示someotherthing external.svg的元素。
