I am trying to use an SVG for the background image of the top main section of the homepage. Right now, you will see thin green curved lines on the right-hand side - a .png image placeholder to show what I want. I would like for it to be an SVG so it remains crisp. This is the code I propose using, but it does not work (I delete the .png file when I try to implement the code)

section[data-section-id="6524201cf483616e06792526"].section-background {
    background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='3236.25' height='1367.35' viewBox='0 0 3236.25 1367.35'><path stroke='#5e683d' stroke-miterlimit='10' fill='none' d='M1892.69.08s-105.14,997.13-932.69,1366.81'/><path stroke='#5e683d' stroke-miterlimit='10' fill='none' d='M2482.83.08s-108.53,827.55-586.74,1366.81'/><path stroke='#5e683d' stroke-miterlimit='10' fill='none' d='M2883.03.08s-135.66,827.55-613.88,1366.81'/><path stroke='#5e683d' stroke-miterlimit='10' fill='none' d='M3235.76,777.88s-58.46,356.62-264.54,589.01'/><rect y='1.43' width='3235.76' height='1365.46' fill='none'/></svg>");
    background-position: center;
    background-size: auto;
}

Thanks in advance!

  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover; /* Adjust to your preference */
  background-attachment: scroll;

}
 

I attached an image of what the SVG looks like - these four lines are supposed to be on the right hand side, behind the leaf.

I think it's how you have it encoded. You have things like < and > and the example in that other post uses %3C and %3E. 

Someone left a link in that post about proper encoding. You might save it as an svg file and upload it here. https://base64.guru/converter/encode/image/svg
