Displaying SVG inline in org-mode

Displaying SVG inline in org-mode

[Eduardo Mercovich]

Dear all. 

Sorry if this is too simple, but I'm a newbie in the Emacs world. 

I have a few png inline images which are displayed fine in Org. 

OTOH I have some svg icons that are shown perfectly in their own
buffers, but when included inline -just like the pngs- are shown only as
a reference like "/home/edumerco/whatever.svg" instead of the
icon. iimage mode is on.

I searched the web but it seems I can't find the right keywords. Can
anyone point me to some references about how to show svg images inline?

Thank you very much... :)

It works for me.

This is my test file


     [[file:/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/actions/action-unavailable-symbolic.svg]]

I then do M-x org-toggle-inline-images RET (AKA C-c C-x C-v).  It should
show.

iimage-mode seems to a general Emacs mode.  It also works for me, but the
display is like

     "file:THE-ICON"

Make sure that you have (0) imagemagick; (1) Emacs configured to support
imagemagick.  This sentence is pure speculation; IOW I have not checked
correctness of this last sentence.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

It worked, thank you very much. :D
It wasn't inserted as a link, but as a direct reference. That worked for
pngs, but not with svg. 

In
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Handling-links.html
is the link to enable org-toggle-inline-images by default in a
file. I'll search how to do that emacs wide. 

Again, thank you very much. 
This community rocks. :)

Best...
