The issue with including SVG export is the time-old limitation in Qt
regarding SVG exports when clipping paths are present. We use clipping
paths heavily in the elevation plots, so if we exported these to SVG
then the clipping would be ignored and the results would be an
unusable mess.

(I'll revisit this when the issue is resolved in Qt, as the actual
QGIS part of SVG exports is trivial)

I know, it is already possible to export a layout to SVG (and with the new enhancement, the profile can then be part of a layout), but it would be convenient, being able to export to SVG without having to create a layout first. Not sure, how much effort this would mean?
