mkdocs-plugin-inline-svg

Reads SVG images referenced from Markdown and replaces them with the SVG file content

Since the SVG is included as part of the plain-text input to MkDocs, this means the default MkDocs search supports searching SVG text, and hyperlinks are also fully functional.

Usage

Install the package with pip:

pip install mkdocs-plugin-inline-svg

Enable the plugin in your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
    - search
    - inline-svg

Note: If you have no plugins entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also want to add the search plugin. MkDocs enables it by default if there is no plugins entry set, but now you have to enable it explicitly.
