The script uses pstoedit which only produces svg output with the non-free svg plugin. I submitted a version of the script that uses skconvert (from skencil). I haven't tested it with the final version of 0.44 but it should work if you have skencil installed. To use, replace eqtexsvg.py by the attached file.
There is a trick that I have used successfully:
* produce whatever you want with LaTeX and then output it as ps, eps or pdf; * use the following sequence of commands:
pstoedit -page 1 -dt -psarg "-r9600x9600" -f sk integral.eps integral.sk skconvert integral.sk integral.svg
These steps overcome the well-known problem of pstoedit that does not convert to svg directly on some installations. Let me finally remark that I am not sure whether the trick works on MS Windows; it is only tested on Linux.
