My LaTeX configuration.

Tikz to Standalone SVG

This setup is based on this answer from the TeX stackexchange. Creating svg images from your tikz drawings requires some configuration. Assuming you have installed the dependencies from install-deps.sh, you also need to set the right permissions for the conversion program, which is ImageMagick. For this you need to open the policy.xml file and change the following policies:

- <policy domain="module" rights="none" pattern="{PS,PDF,XPS}" />
+ <policy domain="module" rights="read|write" pattern="{PS,PDF,XPS}" />
- <policy domain="coder" rights="write" pattern="PDF" />
+ <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

This is taken from this Stack Overflow answer.

Once you have set up and configured the dependencies properly, you can use this tamplate to draw your tikz picture:

\documentclass[tikz,convert={outfile=\jobname.svg}]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{
    arrows,
    arrows.meta,
    decorations,
    backgrounds,
    positioning,
    fit,
    petri,
    shadows,
    datavisualization.formats.functions,
    calc,
    shapes,
    shapes.multipart
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    % draw picture here
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

and compile it with:

lualatex -shell-escape $FILE

Once I'm finished drawing I manually change the width and height settings of the svg file to 100%.
