svg use produces "multiple root elements must be wrapped in an enclosing tag" error

See original GitHub issue

It seems strange to me that the following markup produces the multiple root elements must be wrapped in an enclosing tagerror message:

return html`
      <div>
        <svg>
          <use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" href="#reply"></use>
        </svg>
      </div>
    `;

This is a bel issue not choo specific. and is not actually an issue, it happens to me when I had <path></path> in my svg, it fixed changing it to <path />. So, in your case it should fix with

return html`
      <div>
        <svg>
          <use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" href="#reply" />
        </svg>
      </div>
    `;

Not on laptop right now so can’t debug - sometimes this error is incorrectly thrown because tags are closed when they shouldn’t be - or a trailing closing tag is added when it isn’t needed. Could you try out a variation of these? Thanks!

Sorry, a bit unclear there. This code is getting this error. I don’t see why it does.
