Support referenced SVG images

[CWempe]

I am using asciidoctor to create PDFs. I created an SVG file for the title page of my document. This SVG file has two other images referenced like this:

    <image
       preserveAspectRatio="none"
       inkscape:svg-dpi="512"
       width="33.599998"
       height="33.599998"
       style="image-rendering:optimizeQuality"
       xlink:href="my_image.svg"
       id="image8061"
       x="23.083784"
       y="239.09735" />

This does not work because prawn-svg does not support linked SVG files in a SVG file. It works when I change it to PNG.

       xlink:href="my_image.png"

It would be great if prawn-svg would support this.

I initially created an issue here: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/1937

Hi, it is supported with the file:// scheme but you’ll need to enable it and use a full URL. See readme for details.

Interesting. I was not aware of that. I suppose it would be possible in Asciidoctor PDF to rewrite the target automatically.

Is there a reason that the relative path cannot be supported? Just curious.

Oh, apologies. You were referring to it not supporting svg files. That’s correct. I don’t have any plans to implement this but you’re welcome to contribute.

Apparently I can’t remember my own code. It does in fact support refs without the file: schema specified! The problem here is it doesn’t support svg images. Serves me right for replying to emails when I’ve just woken up.

I'll see if someone in the community is available to contribute.

I would need this feature too since asciidoctor-diagram (with graphviz) generates this syntax when you use an SVG for a node. I am not a Ruby programmer, but I think instead of skipping the element it should be replaced with the raw SVG code.

Sadly it's not that straight forward @Alwinator. The SVG has its own context and view box; things that happen in the main SVG shouldn't affect things in the embedded SVG, and it has to be scaled correctly. It shouldn't be super hard to implement, but it's definitely not as simple as just copying the SVG code inline.
