The options I know of are <svg>, <object>, <embed>, <img>, and <iframe>. What are their relative merits and drawbacks? Are there any others?
<iframe>,<embed>and<object>all embed external svg files and they all allow scripting.<embed>seems to be more or less the de facto standard. The HTML5 spec says:The iframe element represents a nested browsing context.
The embed element represents an integration point for an external (typically non-HTML) application or interactive content.
The object element can represent an external resource, which, depending on the type of the resource, will either be treated as an image, as a nested browsing context, or as an external resource to be processed by a plugin.
<svg>is for inline svg content only but can contain<image>elements with external content.<img>and nested<image>elements does NOT allow scripting.Sources:
