小心其他答案在IE中都有问题。

让我们有这种情况-按钮与前置图标。所有浏览器都能正确地处理这一点，但IE采用元素的宽度并缩放之前的内容以适应它。JSFiddle

#mydiv1 { width: 200px; height: 30px; background: green; }
#mydiv1:before {
    content: url("data:url or /standard/url.svg");
}

解决方案是将size设置为element之前，并将其留在原来的位置:

#mydiv2 { width: 200px; height: 30px; background: green; }
#mydiv2:before {
    content: url("data:url or /standard/url.svg");
    display: inline-block;
    width: 16px; //only one size is alright, IE scales uniformly to fit it
}

background-image + background-size解决方案也可以，但有点不方便，因为您必须指定两次相同的大小。

IE11的结果是:

我今天刚刚注意到，这里的一家报纸使用SVG直接注入到::before和::after伪元素中，为文章中突出显示的内容呈现程式化的引用。我试图通过whatcms.org找到这篇论文的CMS，但无济于事。然而，我可以说，所有者报纸-一个大型的国家，甚至国际，报纸使用CMS称为DM Polopoly。

在内容元素中输入SVG数据似乎比空白内容并使用SVG作为背景图像要费力得多。我想知道他们为什么选择这种方法——这种方法有什么好处。我在谷歌链接上看到一些人说，在伪元素上悬停时操纵SVG图像很容易…但我没有看到这种“好处”的绝佳例子。

本文提供了一种更简单的插入SVG作为内容的方法。 它使用缩放属性来调整图像的大小。

是的，你可以!刚刚测试了这个，它工作得很好，这是了不起的!

#test::before {
  content: url(path/to/your.svg);
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
}

或者如果你喜欢把SVG直接放在CSS中:

#测试::{之前 content: url("data:image/svg+xml，%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%3E%3Ccircle cx='100' cy='50' r='40' stroke='black' stroke-width='2' fill='red'/%3E%3Cpolyline points='20,20 40,25 60,40 80,120 120,140 200,180' style='fill:none;stroke:black;stroke-width:3'/%3E%3C/svg%3E "); 宽度:200 px; 身高:200 px; ｝ < div id = "测试" > < / div >

SVG URL编码器来格式化您自己的SVG，如下所示。

方便的工具SVG编码url-编码器

你可以使用url() CSS函数。

#mydiv::before {
  content: url("data:image/svg+xml; utf8, <svg ... code here</svg>");
  display: block;
  width: 22px;
  height: 10px;
  margin: 10px 5px 0 10px;
}

确保您的SVG不包含任何#符号。使用像这样的编码器。

使用一个空内容的背景蒙版图像，你可以在css中控制颜色:(不要忘记你喜欢的位置，宽度和高度)…!

background-color: red;
-webkit-mask-image: url(icon.svg);
mask-image: url(icon.svg);
content:'';
