Feature request: Insert SVGs into MS Word

Feature request: Insert SVGs into MS Word

[Dulani Woods]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1095 bytes --]

Now that the latest versions of MS Word (and MS Office) can handle SVG 
graphics directly: 

https://superuser.com/questions/397644/inserting-svg-files-in-a-microsoft-word-document
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/edit-svg-images-in-microsoft-office-365-69f29d39-194a-4072-8c35-dbe5e7ea528c

How hard would it be for Pandoc to insert the SVGs directly into MS Word 
documents?  My specific use case is that I'd like to be able to generate 
SVG graphics in R Markdown, and then convert the output to MS Word. 

r/D.

Hi @mb21, sure. 

Attached is a one-page docx with an embedded SVG.  I don't know how it is 
handled with an older version of Word.  I don't have easy access to an 
older version of MS Word, so I can't test it.  I tried Googling to see what 
happens and a blog post on imagebank.io 
<https://imagebank.io/2016/11/finally-theres-support-for-svg-in-powerpoint-and-office/> says 
that the SVG enabled versions of MS Word automatically embed a hi-res PNG 
version of a static SVG for backward compatibility (with no answer about 
what it does with animated SVG).

Thanks!  I went looking for an "issue" on Github and didn't find this one.  
Glad the Google Group did its job well here (and discouraged me from 
creating my own new issue).
