Can anyone tell me if it's possible to embed a jpg or gif image (probably

I read the SVG spec....but it seems that you can only refer to an external
bitmapped image.
Andrzej,
Something like this should do it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><image id="AHWCropped" width="813" height="1293"
xlink:href="data:;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEASABIAAD/4SHDRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgADAEOAAIAAAABAAAAngEPAAIAAAAWAAAA3gEQAAIAAAAmAAAA/gESAAMAAAABAAEAAAEaAAUAAAABAAABLgEbAAUAAAABAAABNgEo"/></svg>
Of course, the data must be much longer to display the original JPEG image correctly. I cut the image data a lot to keep the above short. But it should let you see what you wanted as to syntax.
It is also possible to do this with GIFs and, I think, with PNGs.
I hope that helps.
BTW detailed questions on SVG are probably best sent to the SVG-Developers mailing list at
