Hello,
Is it possible to insert a SVG file with parameters in a document ?
I tried the syntax pathtosvg?param1=value1 as url in the image property but it does not work.

Which software is supposed to interprete these parameters? Where are your parameters specified?

The parameters are specified in the SVG file, as described at
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGParamPrimer/. They allow to customize the SVG (for instance the color).
An example of a SVG file named button.svg accepting 2 parameters :
Code: Select all
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 110 40" width="100%" height="100%">
<title>Button</title>
<defs>
<ref id="paramFill" param="color" default="blue"/>
<ref id="paramStroke" param="outline" default="navy"/>
</defs>
<g>
<rect id="button_rect" x="5" y="5" width="100" height="30" rx="15" ry="15" fill="url(#paramFill)" stroke="url(#paramStroke)" />
</g>
</svg>
To pass 2 parameters color and outline to button.svg the HTML syntax is :
Code: Select all
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="button.svg?color=red&outline=black"> </object>
This syntax is unterstood by most of browsers.

But this is an office suite and not a browser. For anything related to foreign file formats I would prefer LibreOffice over OpenOffice.
