Destructively move the clip-path tag from the style to its own property

# as Inkscape doesn’t like it as a style element.

def clipfix_file(filename)
output = File.open("#{filename}.new", ‘w’)
input = File.open(filename)

input.each do |line|

Assumes each sytle property begins and ends on the same line

# which seems to be the case for Inkscape.
output.puts(line.gsub(/style="(.)clip-path:(.+?);(.)"/,
‘clip-path="\2" style="\1\3"’))
end

input.close()
output.close()

#File.move(filename, “#{filename}.old”)
