 * Chinese translation of the [Tuto 7 - Creating PDF/A Documents](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tutorial-zh.html#-pdfa) tutorial section - _cf._ [issue #267](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/267) - _cf._ [PR #2138](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/pull/2138) - thanks to @zheng-guannan577*
 * `FPDF.write_html()` makes the `id` of an element, and the `name` of an `<a>`, a named destination, so that `<a href="#...">` links within the document work, like in browsers, instead of raising `FPDFException: Named destination ... was referenced but never set` - thanks to @RavSinghChandan
 ### Fixed
+* SVG: a `<line>` in a `<clipPath>` no longer fails with `TypeError: ShapeBuilder.line() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given`; it has no area, so it clips everything away, as in browsers - thanks to @RavSinghChandan
 * SVG: an `@import`, `@charset` or other at-rule without a block at the start of a `<style>`, such as the `@import` of a Google Font, no longer hides the CSS rule that follows it; a `;` inside its URL, as in `wght@600;700`, is part of the URL - thanks to @RavSinghChandan
 * `FPDF.write_html()`: a link with `href="#"`, as in the "Back to top" links of many web pages, now goes to the top of the document, like in browsers, instead of making `output()` fail with `FPDFException: Named destination '' was referenced but never set` - thanks to @RavSinghChandan
 * `FPDF.output()` no longer fails with `struct.error: unpack requires a buffer of 2 bytes` for a font with Apple bitmap tables, such as the `Geneva.ttf` and `Cochin.ttc` of macOS: their `bdat` and `bloc` tables are now dropped when subsetting, like the `EBDT` and `EBLC` tables they correspond to - thanks to @RavSinghChandan
