- Subject: DOCBOOK: Referencing an external SVG document
I *think* this would be the preferred list, so here goes...
I would like to incorporate an SVG diagram into my document. My toolchain
is as follows:
- 1.50.0 XSL stylesheets
- Xalan-J 2.2.0 (2.3.1 causes the ArrayOutOfBounds exception)
- fo-patch-for-fop.xsl (given that I am using 0.20.1)
- Fop 0.20.1 (0.20.3 seems still to be twitchy)
According to the Fop web site, it expects SVG files to be references
either as "fo:instream-foreign-object" or as "fo:external-graphic". A
"grep" of the Docbook stylesheets shows that they use only
"fo:external-graphic". From what I can tell, all of the uses of
"fo:external-graphic" are restricted to formats such as jpg and eps. This
makes sense based on the documentation that I have found.
So my question is basically: Given an .svg file, what tags do I insert
into my DocBook file to allow my toolchain to render the .svg as a figure?
Thanks for your help.
