Newer versions of LaTeX2HTML have support for (and default to) SVG, but this support will only work if the appropriate packages are installed. The appropriate package appears to be 'app-text/popper' with the 'cairo' USE flag. If SVG support is available the file '/usr/lib64/latex2html/l2hconf.pm' will contain the non-empty definition: $PDFTOCAIRO = '/usr/bin/pdftocairo'; # pdf to svg converter Attached is an ebuild which should add an 'svg' USE flag to the ebuild.
