Differences Between SVG and Canvas:

Question

My xml link code

the tag is the link.

 <b>link 1</b><l href="#">description</l>

Css code

l{
  color:#222;
  font-size:18;
  font-style: italic;
  display:block;
  transition:all 0.4s;
  -webkit-transition:all 0.5s;
  text-decoration:none;
  width:auto;
}
l:hover{
  cursor:pointer;
  color:blue;
} 

When I specify a width like 200px it works but when I put it to auto it doesn't so can somebody help me with solving this problem?

I have Jquery working on the page so if I need to solve the problem with Jquery that is no problem.

SVG is a language for describing 2D graphics in XML.

Canvas draws 2D graphics, on the fly (with a JavaScript).

SVG is XML based, which means that every element is available within the SVG DOM. You can attach JavaScript event handlers for an element.

In SVG, each drawn shape is remembered as an object. If attributes of an SVG object are changed, the browser can automatically re-render the shape.

Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel. In canvas, once the graphic is drawn, it is forgotten by the browser. If its position should be changed, the entire scene needs to be redrawn, including any objects that might have been covered by the graphic.
