sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter 1.0.1

Sphinx SVG to PDF converter extension

This extension converts SVG images to PDF in case the builder does not support SVG images natively (e.g. LaTeX).

Internally, either Inkscape or rsvg-convert from libRSVG as a more lightweight alternative is used to convert images.

Installation

Just install via pip:

$ pip install sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter

You can choose between Inkscape and libRSVG by either adding sphinxcontrib.inkscapeconverter or sphinxcontrib.rsvgconverter to the extensions list in your conf.py.

Make sure to have either inkscape or the rsvg-convert command available in your systems PATH and, if necessary, adapt the inkscape_converter_bin or rsvg_converter_bin config value respectively.
