# tikztosvg(1)
The `tikztosvg(1)` command renders TikZ diagrams to SVG, using
[XeTeX](http://xetex.sourceforge.net/) and
[pdf2svg](https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg).
## Usage
``` sh
$ tikztosvg [OPTION]... INPUT_PATH
```
If *INPUT\_PATH* is set to *-* the input will be read from stdin.
### Options
**-o, --output**=*OUTPUT\_PATH*
Write output to file *OUTPUT\_PATH*. If set to *-* the output will be written
to stdout. Defaults to the base name of the input file suffixed with the *.svg*
extension. The file is resolved relative to the working directory.
**-p, --package**=+*PACKAGE*
Include `\usepackage{PACKAGE}` when rendering the diagram. The tikz, tikz-cd,
pgfplots, amsmath and amssymb packages are always included by default.
**-l, --library**=+*LIBRARY*
Include `\usetikzlibrary{LIBRARY}` when rendering the diagram.
**-q, --quiet**
Silence application log messages and script warnings.
**-h, --help**
Print a help message.
**-v, --version**
Print version information.
## Example
Let’s say you want to convert the file `example.tikz` to SVG:
``` latex
\begin{tikzcd}
G \arrow[r, "\varphi"] \arrow[d, "\psi"', two heads] & H \\
\mathlarger{\sfrac{G}{\ker \varphi}} \arrow[ru, dotted] &
\end{tikzcd}
```
You could achieve this by running:
``` sh
# xfrac and relsize are only there so that we can
# call \sfrac and \mathlarger
$ tikztosvg -p xfrac -p relsize example.tikz
```
The results will be stored in the file `example.svg`.
## Installation

``` sh
$ curl -s https://git.sr.ht/~pablo-pie/tikztosvg/blob/master/install.sh | sudo sh
