Hi,

As for svg support: could you please send me a sample book with
included svg images?

As for tables: that's a large feature but seems it is relatively rare
(especially in epub that is a most important format for fbreader at
this moment).

My "Desbarollda, the Waltzing Mouse" has SVG images. A free sample is
available at Lulu.com that shows two uses of SVG:

* Exact placement of text and proportional resizing of text and
images, to make the title page match the printed title page very
closely, and always filling the available screen area.
* Proportional resizing of images to fit the screen, whatever the
aspect ratio of the screen relative to the image aspect ratio.

The Preview link is not very obvious, but is visible just below the
cover image.

Hi,

Thank you for the link, I didn't know this site. However I cannot
found an svg image in this archive:
it uses svg syntax for embegding a png one. This syntax will be
supported in the next FBReader version,
0.14.0, that is planned for a mid-March.

The most common use of SVG is to resize an image to the screen, and
the 2nd most common is to build a title page. Very few ePubs include
actual vector graphics figures, but there may be some that use them
within the body of the text for things like math formulas.

Adobe's EPUB Best Practices Guide contains an in-lined SVG to build
the cover page and a stand-alone SVG figure.
