🎨 Ability to use SVG files for author/logo image

[didnt1able]

Would it be possible to add the ability to use SVG in place of png/jpeg. Or is there a way that i can implement this myself?

execute of template failed: template: partials/author.html:6:39: executing "partials/author.html" at <$authorImage.Fill>: error calling Fill: this method is only available for raster images. To determine if an image is SVG, you can do {{ if eq .MediaType.SubType "svg" }}{{ end }}

@didnt1able not at this stage apparently. If you have a repo example with this so that I can check the code it would help when I take a look at it.

as of An SVG image MAY be specified in config/_default/params.yaml for defaultBackgroundImage
however an SVG MAY NOT be specified for defaultFeaturedImage

Converting the svg to png works; but it means storing multiple copies of the same resource in dif formats.. I've not attempted to see how this plays with animated svgs/pngs yet
