If you want to convert my.dvi to my.svg, use this command
dvi2ps my.dvi | ps2eps - > my.eps && eps2svg my.eps
This produces my.svg – note that if my.svg already exists, eps2svg will create my_1.svg, my_2.svg and so on and will not overwrite my.svg!
You can also use this shell function:
function dviToSVG { dvi2ps "$1" | ps2eps - > "${1%.*}.eps" && eps2svg "${1%.*}.eps" "${1%.*}.svg" ; }Usage example:
dviToSVG my.dvi # Produces my.svg
