Just wikified that and added a lot of links to SVG resources: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/SVG Since Adobe Reader supports SVG graphics natively - perhaps we could just include them in the PDF? Here's a sample script in Perl: http://www.kevlindev.com/utilities/index.htm and Python: http://jan.kollhof.net/projects/svg/svgpdf/ I didn't look at them for I don't know the internals anyway, but I guess one could use this technique in Lua, too? An other way would be Cairo graphics library (also used by Mozilla) to convert SVG: http://cairographics.org There's even a Lua binding for Cairo: http://www.dynaset.org/dogusanh/download.html#cairopad But I don't really understand if Cairo is suitable to convert SVG to other than pixel graphics for screen rendering. Apache's Batik library claims to support SVG to PDF conversion: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ So perhaps someone more qualified than me could make SVG integration for ConTeXt...
