Recently, I came across a requirement from a client that needed all SVG media types to render using the internal XML <Path> in the DOM, rather than using the standard <Img> tag.
This was a tricky one and there wasn’t very much information about how to accomplish this, as its not necessarily a common request. That being said, it does have its advantages, such as recoloring the vector using CSS.

Although this works, it doesn’t mean this is the best way of doing it.
Please let me know your thoughts! I would love some feedback!
