Re: [docbook] Using <embed> for SVG

[Jens Stavnstrup <js@ddre.dk>]

Jamie,

Don't expect any SVG support from Microsoft in the next millenum (which i find
very unfortunately if not really annoying). Instead use Batik
(http://xml.apache.org/batik) to transform all you SVG to e.g. JPG.

That works just fine with for my DocBook document with 100+ SVG pictures.

Regards,

Jens
