Fixed in new patch (attached).

Also fixed. Making the first line a full sentence means that some lines
are a little longer than 80 characters. Is this acceptable?

This is just a default, but I could use a dvisvgm command as the default
instead? Either way, converting a PDF to SVG will require an executable
outside Emacs, but I guess dvisvgm is more likely to be installed for
people using a texlive installation. My personal preference for inkscape
is because it should handle all PDF inputs, whereas there are some cases
where dvisvgm may fail (see
https://github.com/mgieseki/dvisvgm/issues/139) due to changes in
ghostscript. Still, dvisvgm generally does a very good job with PDF
inputs. Let me know your thoughts, I'd be happy to set the default to a
dvisvgm command instead.
