Hello,
I'm a ConTeXt (and LaTeX too) user. When I want to make a vector picture, I'm trying most of the time to use programs who can export PGF/TikZ or PStricks. A lot of users like me don't "program" their vector pictures and use wysiwyg programs like Inkscape or Illustrator to generate PStricks ou PGF/TikZ code. Of course whatever program used, we can find a SVG export. SVG is the most spread and the most used format to store vector pictures.
I request a native support for SVG in XeTeX and in LuaTeX, I think it would be a great thing. Of course when I want to include SVG pictures in my documents I can convert them to pdf before but the problem is that labels and texts won't be compiled : fonts will be wrong.
What do you think about this ? Do you think it's something possible ?
it would involve parsing of the svg code and that's real low on my agenda (svg is not my favourite format with all this data in attributes while actually it should in element and properly structured)

Hello everybody, hello Hans, I was reading this old message I posted about ten months ago. I found scripts written in perl or python to include svg pictures in pdf but that's not really good (to me) and it doesn't work with any pdf viewer (it also requires a plugin installation in adobe acrobat ...). I was thinking about the mars project : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/mars/ I thought that maybe the day when luatex and this new pdfxml format would be stable enough, it could be conceivable to give luatex this ability to produce pdfxml files and maybe it would make easier the integration of svg images in this pdfxml without having to parse svg code. What do you think ? Pdfxml could be a good opportunity for luatex users ?
