Hi,
I uploaded a beta. In lmtx there is now a bit more advanced support for
svg. A preliminary manual is included that explains a few things.
As a teaser ... it is also possible to embed svg code, as in:
\startbuffer[svgtest]
<svg>
<circle
cx="50" cy="50" r="40"
stroke="green" stroke-width="10" stroke-opacity="0.3"
fill="red" fill-opacity="0.3"
/>
<circle
cx="150" cy="50" r="40"
stroke="green" stroke-width="10"
fill="red"
opacity="0.3"
/>
</svg>
\stopbuffer
\startTEXpage
\includesvgbuffer[svgtest]
\stopTEXpage
\startTEXpage
\includesvgbuffer[svgtest][offset=2bp]
\stopTEXpage
or in metapost disguise:
\startMPpage
vardef svg expr c = lmt_svg [ code = c ] enddef ;
draw svg "<svg>
<circle
cx='50' cy='50' r='40'
stroke='green' stroke-width='10' stroke-opacity='0.3'
fill='red' fill-opacity='0.3'
/>
<circle
cx='150' cy='50' r='40'
stroke='green' stroke-width='10'
fill='red'
opacity='0.3'
/>
</svg>" ;
\stopMPpage
It is not a replacement for metapost (which is more efficient runtime
anbyway) but for artistic images a mixture might work out ok.
In principle inclusion with externalfigure also works when
conversion=mps is set but, although I have some 1500 test images, not
all might work out well. There can be a lot of crap be hidden in svg
files and angle brackets are no guarantee for properly structured
images. Especially fonts can be troublesome. On the other hand, if one
has very structured input, text labels can be swapped for propertly
typeset ones (like math), but that's for later to explain (experimental
stuff). We'll see.
