If you use SVG symbols within QGIS you can use params like these so you can adjust properties interactively in QGIS:

fill = param(fill) 
fill-opacity = param(fill-opacity) 
stroke = param(outline) 
stroke-width = param(outline-width) 
stroke-opacity = param(outline-opacity)

I would like to do the same with text within an SVG-image: Use (text-)placeholders in the SVG and fill in the actual text stored as QGIS variables within the print composer:

example

Is this already possible?

You can display SVG with HTML like :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="yellow" />
</svg>

</body>
</html>

In a print composer, create a text label and check Render as HTML, you can place variables in placeholders :

<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="[%@color%]" />
</svg>

    Great Idea. I guess it's the only way to use qgis variables inside svg graphics at the moment. – markgraeflerland Sep 9 '19 at 9:30
