Hey.  
I’m new to Hugo and i’m trying to add some inline-svg to my templates.  
But I’m more guessing:

```auto
{{ partial "img/icons.svg" | absURL }}

```

doesn’t work. Maybe someone has a hint for me.  
Thx in advance.

btw. Hugo rocks

Get rid of the filter/absURL and you should be good to go. I inline a bunch of icons on the site I’m putting together for work.

I’ve been having trouble with this referencing svg files that aren’t in the partials folder… is there a way to do this?

@stephen-james Saw you liked my comment on the other SVG thread. Wanted to make sure it answered your question. If you can point me to source, I might be able to help as well 😄
