title: Is it possible to include svg image in pdf document rendered by rmarkdown?
body: <p>I want an svg image to be embedded in an pdf document that I render by using rmarkdown. This doesn't seem possible, or do I miss something? If it's not possible is there a way to first convert the .svg image to a .png before embedding it?</p>
  
  <p>In my rmarkdown file it looks like this (notice the two different kinds of inserting the image):</p>
  
  <pre><code>```{r results="asis",eval=TRUE,echo=FALSE,message=FALSE, error=FALSE, warning=FALSE, comment = NA,fig.height=10}
  
  cat("![](svg_file.svg)")
  
  ```
  
  ![](svg_file.svg)
  </code></pre>
