Thanks. I should have been more specific: I'd like to try to
extract into 3 separate files the weapons of mass destruction symbols
from the "WMD_world_map.svg" image in the Wiikipedia article on "Weapons
of mass destruction"
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/WMD_world_map.svg).
I've opened it in Emacs enough to see that it's a structured text
file consistent with what little I know about XML. It looks to me like
a list, but without convenient names for the list components.
Thanks again,
Spencer
p.s. I found the biohazard symbol by itself
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Biohazard_symbol.svg),
but I didn't find the radioactive and skull-and-crossbones symbols in
exactly that form. (I didn't look seriously beyond Wikimedia commons,
because I'm making a video, and I want something I can release under the
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license.
