Not sure if this is what you need.. but here goes:

Sitemap:

<map:match pattern="images/*/*.jpg">
    <map:generate src="skins/{global:skin}/svg/{1}.svg"/>
    <map:transform src="skins/{global:skin}/{1}Image.xsl">
        <map:parameter name="title" value="{2}"/>
    </map:transform>
    <map:serialize type="svg2jpeg"/>
</map:match>

SVG File:

<svg width="150" height="12">
    <ttf-font type="DieNasty"/>
    <rect x="0" y="0" width="150" height="12"
style="fill:rgb(255,236,145)"/>
    <text x="8px" y="11px"
style="text-anchor:start;fill:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14;font-family:DieNas
ty;">Home</text>
</svg>

XSL File:

<xsl:include href="fonts.xsl"/>
<xsl:param name="title"/>

<xsl:template match="text">
    <text>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:value-of
select="document('svg/blocks.xml')/images/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
    </text>
</xsl:template>

Description of how it works:

You can ignore the font stuff if you want.  I just created
an XSL file that has embedded fonts that get included when
the transform is complete.  That way I can use any TTF font
I want for my text (so it looks the same on all platforms
regardless of fonts installed on the server).

Also.. the svg/blocks.xml file basically converts the
image name to some useful title.  You can ignore this
too if you just want to use some static title.  This is
also not needed.. you can simply remove that {1}Image.xsl
transform from this example and your image will say "Home".

So where you want to display this image in HTML you would do:

<img src="/images/block/main.jpg"/>

It will then look for the file in skins/myskin/svg/block.svg.
(if myskin is global.. again you dont need this.. its just
what my sitemap looks like.. you can specify it as whatever
SVG file you want).

That's really it.. its pretty simple once you get
the hang of it!

Good luck,

- Brent
