Whoops - airball!
The SVG should be handled natively in FOP right now! My last reply was for
using PDF images embedded into FO in FOP 1.0. Using PDFs do help with visual
clarity in FOP IF you have vector based PDFs (not bitmapped imaged). We use
PDFs for equipment drawings in our docs. You can find this plugin at
http://www.jeremias-maerki.ch/download/fop/pdf-images/
That said the XML code is still a valid method for SVG in figures.
Sorry to confuse the issue.

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>

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.
