Description

I think It would be nice if jspdf adds direct support for svg element when using HTML converter. I relay on ready icon components made of svg elements for my cv generator project. If I am honest with you I can live without this feature but it would make it easier for me and nicer to use this library.

Research direction
Examine the existing `html` method in jsPDF (likely in `src/modules/html.js`). Review issue comments for suggested approaches or workarounds. Check if community plugins or PRs attempt SVG support. Consider the HTML to PDF converter used (e.g., html2canvas) and whether it supports SVG natively.
