Is there is a package for _loading_ SVG files? I have checked the usual suspects (Images, ImageMagick, FileIO, and ImageIO) and none of them provide `load`ing of SVG, just writing apparently.

SVG is in the XML format. So you can use XML packages such as [EzXML.jl](https://github.com/JuliaIO/EzXML.jl).

Thank you! I’ll look into that package.
