Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki, SVG and Apache Batik

dullfig <mailto:[hidden email]> 22 April 2016 at 17:48 well there are a couple of issues here. First, there are still browsers that don't support svg (although they are only a few and not the main ones). Second, there is a bug in the SVG macro that prevents links in certain browsers, like Chrome. So if SVG support was native and transparent, then your experience would be even across the board.

You can use an SVG image that you upload as you would upload a png image. This will simply embed it within the html page and let the browser render it. This works since recent versions of XWiki (maybe 6?). I doubt this uses Batik. Isn't that sufficient? At least, to my eyes, this is a very important use case for all the technical documentation we write.

With Batik, shouldn't XWiki be able to render the SVG without the help of the browers?
