A minimalist SVG template demonstrates a blank canvas with a pink background, rendered by an HTML page that loads D3 v5 and a bundled JavaScript file. The code selects the `<svg>` element and sets its background color via the `select` function, while also extracting its height and width attributes as numeric values for future layout calculations. No data or chart elements are drawn; the example focuses on establishing the basic structure and styling hooks for a D3 project, with CSS applied for a full-bleed page layout.
