Subject: Re: embed svg file  in html

Your first action should be to google for "embed SVG HTML".

After that, I suggest:

(1) Reproduce your problem using entirely static HTML files, which you 
access using URLs like file:///temp/whatever.html

This takes Rails out of the equation altogether, so you can ask your 
question on a HTML or web design mailing list if the embedding doesn't 
work.

(2) If you can make it work with the static pages but not with Rails, 
you can ask the question again on a Rails mailing list. Post your 
relevant bits of server logs, so you can show whether the embed tag is 
attempting to fetch the svg, and if so, whether it's succeeding or not.

Remember that you have a relative URL in your HTML, i.e. 
src="report.svg", so the browser will probably be fetching 
/some_controller/report.svg. Is that what you were expecting, and is 
your application serving it?

(3) Rails happens to be written in Ruby. That's is a long way from your 
problem area, so asking the question here on a Ruby programming language 
mailing list is inconsiderate at best.
