Testing SVG Inclusion in Blog Posts
This is a test post to demonstrate the new SVG inclusion functionality in our blog system. The system can now process custom {{ include_svg() }}
tags and replace them with the actual SVG content.
Sample Chart
Here's a sample chart that demonstrates this functionality:
The chart above was generated separately and saved as an SVG file in the same directory as this blog post. The SVG inclusion system automatically embeds it into the final HTML output.
Benefits
This approach provides several advantages:
- Separation of concerns: Charts and visualizations can be created with specialized tools
- Version control: SVG files can be tracked separately from the blog content
- Performance: SVG content is inlined, reducing HTTP requests
- Flexibility: Any SVG file can be included, regardless of how it was generated
Future Enhancements
Potential improvements to this system could include:
- Support for other file types (PNG, JPG, etc.)
- Optional parameters for styling or sizing
- Error handling for missing files
- Support for SVG files in subdirectories
- Caption styling customization
This SVG inclusion system makes it easy to incorporate rich visualizations and charts into blog posts while maintaining a clean separation between content and graphics.
