+In ikiwiki 2.66, SVG images are not recognized as images. In ikiwiki.pm,
+the hardcoded list of image file extensions does not include ".svg", which
+it probably should unless there's some other issue about rendering SVGs?
+
+The 'img' plugin also seems to not support SVGs.
+
+> SVG images can only be included via an `<object>`, `<embed>`, or
+> `<iframe>` tag. Or, perhaps as [inline SVG](http://wiki.svg.org/Inline_SVG).
+> The [[plugins/htmlscrubber]] strips all three tags since they can easily
+> be used maliciously. If doing inline SVG, I'd worry that the svg file
+> could be malformed and mess up the html, or even inject javascript. So,
+> the only options seem to be only supporting svgs on wikis that do not
+> sanitize their html, or assuming that svgs are trusted content and
+> embedding them inline. None of which seem particularly palatable.
+>
+> I suppose the other option would be converting the svg file to a static
+> image (png). The img plugin could probably do that fairly simply.
