If you just need quick and dirty clientside SVG rendering, try this extension:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NativeSvgHandler Even if you don't have any other SVG renderer enabled, it pipes the output through your browser's SVG renderer as a middleman, which, unless you have a browser that belongs in a museum, will work fine 100% of the time. > Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 05:04:16 +1000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing > > Hi, > > I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my Windows > 7 OS with a MediaWiki installation.
