Description

MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/orient

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Usage notes

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The description of the allowed values of the orient attribute of a <marker> element does not provide versioning information. Therefore, the documentation does not help in determining that the value auto-start-reverse is an SVG2 extension.

current description

What did you expect to see?

I would like the "Note" box to explicitly mention that this feature is only supported in SVG2 and later:

suggested wording

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Orient attribute in SVG 1.1: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#OrientAttribute
Orient attribute in SVG 2: https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#OrientAttribute

Do you have anything more you want to share?

This issue is split off from mdn/content#22061 as advised by @queengooborg.
It was first found by the Gitlab user KrIr17 when investigating a versioning issue in Inkscape (open-source SVG editor).
