Hi Ivan,
Pretty much all browsers support svg.
You can include SVG in HTML using passthrough, eg
+++<object data="drawing.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>+++
The FOP pdf toolchain supports svg.
You can include SVG in docbook for FOP using passthrough, eg
++++++++++++++
<mediaobject id="MyDrawing">
<imageobject>
<imagedata format="SVG" fileref="drawing.svg"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
++++++++++++++
You can use conditional macros to decide which to include in the
output. If you are doing it a lot then it is probably best to define
yourself a macro for it.
