Description

Advertises SVG where available.

SVG has no JPEG discolorations, can be enlarged without appearing pixelated, and often requires less storage space for simple shapes. At sufficiently low resolutions (such as small icons) the benefit may be negligible. Larger images tend to look cleaner and more perfect as SVG.

Usage

{{Vector version available}}
{{Vector version available|filename}}

If only the extension differs, the first form can be used.
