Subject: docbook + svg + epub3 -- how to do?


Hi, there, I am working on an ebook where I want to use svg for images. I see that SVG support in Kindle has improved recently, and plus my images might future-proof better if I use svg.

I suspect that svg and docbook play well together.  But I don't know really what's going on.  I see that there's an example of svg inside an imagedata element here: http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/_any.svg.html

How would the epub3 stylesheets render the example (generally I mean). Does it just pass the svg code as is  into the xhtml?

Is there any way to do a fallback rendering if the browser or tablet doesn't support svg?

Also, if I use the example below as my svg, when you run the epub3 XSLT, which of these files (if any) will appear in package.opf file?

<svg id="ch1-title-image" viewBox="0 0 1000 500" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin meet">
   <defs>
      <desc>
          Chapter 1
      </desc>
      <clipPath id="inset-ch1">
          <use xlink:href="" 
      </clipPath>
   <defs>

   <image xlink:href="" 
          x="350" y="100" width="300" height="200"
          clip-path = "url(#inset-ch1)" />

   <use xlink:href=""
         x="0" y="0" width="1000" height="500" />

   <text x="500" y="400" text-anchor="middle" font-size="60">
       The Lamp in the Window
   </text>
</svg>
