Tom,
I use SVG files in my formal figures and they work very well. However, if you are using FOP, you need to install a addon package so that FOP can deal with the SVG natively. The package I use is "fop-pdf-images". Its a jar file that gets put in the FOP classpath.
So this is how it looks as a figure:
<figure>
<title>Basic XML Documentation Flow</title>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject role="fo">
<imagedata align="center" fileref="basicFlow.svg" width="5in" format="SVG" />
</imageobject>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata align="center" fileref="basicFlow.png" width="5in" format="PNG" />
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</figure>
Regards,
Dean Nelson

I am using fop for pdf output. I have successfully used svg images in my fo covers using docbook customizations with specific fo output.
Now I want to use svg images in figures. Has anyone done a docbook customization to do the "right thing" for using svg image files as formal figures?
Thanks.
