Example from hello-world:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg width="240" height="100" viewBox="0 0 240 100" zoomAndPan="disable"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <title>Hello World</title>
    <g>
      <text x="10" y="50">Hello World</text>
      <animate attributeName='opacity' values='0;1' dur='4s' fill='freeze' begin="0s"/>
    </g>
</svg>

Example from the Hello World Collection:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!-- Hello World in SVG -->

<svg width="240" height="100" viewBox="0 0 240 100" zoomAndPan="disable"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <title>Hello World</title>
    <g>
      <text x="10" y="50">Hello World</text>
      <animate attributeName='opacity' values='0;1' dur='4s' fill='freeze' begin="0s"/>
    </g>
</svg>

Example from Wikipedia:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
  <rect x="25" y="25" width="200" height="200" fill="lime" stroke-width="4" stroke="pink" />
  <circle cx="125" cy="125" r="75" fill="orange" />
  <polyline points="50,150 50,200 200,200 200,100" stroke="red" stroke-width="4" fill="none" />
