Do recent versions of MKIV (specifically, the one in TeXLive 2012) support SVG graphics directly or is it still necessary to convert to PDF as in the wiki example? I've created a couple of items in Inkscape and can save them to PDF directly without the "automatic" background conversion but native SVG support would be better if it exists.

No, mkiv still uses inkscape. Some time ago I've seen rsvg I've also tried a kind of native support with a lua binding for librsvg, but the rsvg converter is not good as the inkscape program. -- luigi

No problem! Just looking to see if I needed to take that extra step while I'm still in Inkscape. Not an "issue" just a curiosity. -- Bill Meahan, Westland, Michigan USA “Writing is a combination of intangible creative fantasy and appallingly hard work.” —Anthony Powell This message is digitally signed with an X.509 certificate to prove it is from me and has not been altered since it was sent.
