Summary
-------
-The **svg** package is intended for the automated integration of SVG graphics
-into LaTeX documents. Therefor the capabilities provided by ***Inkscape***---or
-more precisely its command line tool---are used to export the text within a SVG
-graphic to a separate file, which is then rendered by LaTeX. For this purpose
-the two commands `\includesvg` and `\includeinkscape` are provided which are
-very similar to the `\includegraphics` command of the **graphicx** package.
+The **svg** package provides an user&#8209;interface for automated integration
+of SVG&nbsp;graphics created with ***Inkscape*** into LaTeX&nbsp;documents.

+`\includeinkscape` are provided as central user&#8209;interface, which are very
+similar to the `\includegraphics` command of the **graphicx** package.
-In addition, the package **svg-extract** allows the extraction of these
-graphics into independent files in different graphic formats, exactly as

+In addition, the package **svg-extract** extends the user&#8209;interface of
+package **svg** in order to support the extraction of these graphics into
+independent files in different graphic formats, exactly as they are rendered
+within the LaTeX&nbsp;document. For the creation of these graphics in the
+well&#8209;known formats PDF, EPS and&nbsp;PS, LaTeX and possibly conversion
+tools shipped with the most LaTeX distributions are used. If the graphics are
+required in other file formats, either ***ImageMagick*** or ***Ghostscript***
+can be invoked.
