How to convert a svg graphic in html file?

I created a very simple html file to include a rect, the code is like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'>
</head>
<body >
<svg height="300" width="600">
<rect rx="0" ry="0" height="30" width="16.75" y="200" x="200" ></rect>
</svg>
</body></html>

And I put it in my website, link is http://webpivottable.com/wpt/chart.html

at browser, I can see that rect but when I copy this link to your online convert, no rect in pdf file.

What's wrong with my code? Any particular requirement to convert svg?

Thanks

There is no rectangle in the PDF file because the converter does not support static inline SVG elements embedded in HTML.

The converter supports:

1/ External SVG files, for example:

<img src="image.svg" />

2/ SVG elements created dynamically from JavaScript.
