you need to create a .xbb file for each svg file. you can create it
with `ebb -x` command (I am not sure whether it is installed by
default with TeX Live.

in this example the image should have width of 1/5 textwidth, original
image size isn't used at all, so the warning shouldn't matter.

this config file doesn't use image size information from the .xbb
file. as I said, it doesn't work with explicit setting of image size.
(error `Package graphics Error: Division by 0.` is produced)

you can also use

    make4ht -uc nma.cfg foo.tex htm

instead

of course :)

add

     \DeclareGraphicsRule{.svg}{svg}{.xbb}{}

to the .cfg file under \DeclareGraphicsExtensions if you want to use
original image dimensions. but if you use that with explicit width
setting, it will fail with `Division by 0` error, as I said earlier.
It is maybe graphicx bug, because the same error is produced with
plain LaTeX.

I forgot it :)

it does use it, but you can modify image generation and conversion in
a build file
