This is not an uncommon use case and we use an attribute to control
which image format is output depending on the backend.
The macro used to control either SVG or PNG format is called "svgpng"
and defined in asciidoc.conf as follows:
ifdef::basebackend-html[]
[attributes]
# Load PNGs instead of SVGs for HTML
svgpng=png
svgjpg=jpg
endif::basebackend-html[]
ifdef::backend-docbook[]
[attributes]
svgpng=svg
svgjpg=svg
endif::backend-docbook[]
You use it as follows:
image::picture1.{svgpng}[]
Depending in the backend either a SVG or a PNG image file is used.
