Hi,
Use of SVG image files requires modification to the mime.types file on
your web server (and web server reload).
The mime.types file shipped with LON-CAPA releases has not, up until
now, included the required line:
image/svg+xml svg svgz
because of LON-CAPA policy to support older browsers (i.e., Internet
Explorer 8 and older). Note: use of SVG with IE8 requires an SVG
viewer on the client side.
Anyway, I have committed an updated mime.types file to the LON-CAPA
CVS repository, and will include that in the forthcoming 2.11.1
http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/mime.types?rev=1.7;content-type=text%2Fplain
To use LON-CAPA's mime.types config file, your domain's Apache
server's configuration needs to include:
TypesConfig conf/mime.types
Currently, printout generation (i.e., use of LON-CAPA's Print function
to generate a PDF from TeX) will fail if you include an svg file in an
img tag in a LON-CAPA resource. See:

Hi.
It is possible to use an image reference to a svg, e.g.,
<img
src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Letters_SVG.svg"; />
in a LON-CAPA problem.
But it doesn't work to upload the corresponding file into the
construction space and to use it. It is not even possible to open the
uploaded picture in the browser; a xml scource code is shown.
Other pictures (e.g. png) work.
Is this a common problem or have I done something wrong?
- Peter
