Add SVG preview instead of source text

I'm a fan of the new text previews but SVGs aren't really meant to be read.

!!! Edit !!!
Ok, nevermind. I'm shooting my own comment down.

Someone has gien me a pretty solid answer that I agree with a large amount. The answer is that Discord doesn't support them because of the potential scam/security risk.

SVGs use HTML and if they allowed that to run in messages it would introduce a huge load of scam and security issues.

I wish they were supported but I think this is a pretty fair reason why they aren't.

I'm going to keep this comment up so that other people might see it.

    I concur, SVGs are text-based images, kind of like PostScript, and should be rendered as images by default.  There are at least a dozen other requests of this nature, which is why I am not submitting an additional one myself, and it needs to be escalated and taken seriously: SVG has gained significant traction in the last 5 years and should be supported by Discord as it is by modern web browsers.

    Seconded. SVG are a much more efficient format and should be supported on all modern apps and website.

    GitHub repos are able to display animated SVGs: https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg
