It is the same as with any image format: If you have a converter that transforms svg in eps (can inkscape do that from the command line?), you can define it in the preferences and simply include svg figures in your document. I don't know if the standard converter can handle this transformation. You could also write an "external template" to use the "LaTeX with PSTricks macros output format" of inkscape. This would be very similar to the existing xfig template. Georg
