Common Practical Use Cases
- Icon Pipeline: clean editor cruft out of an exported icon before pasting it inline into a Vue or React component.
- Inkscape Exports: strip sodipodi and inkscape namespaced attributes that an illustration tool leaves behind.
- Bundle Size Review: paste a logo SVG to see the byte count before and after and judge whether inlining it is worth it.
- Email Templates: remove comments and the XML declaration from a small mark so it embeds cleanly in constrained markup.
