Using .svg inline background images

My workaround others might find useful in the future for manually bundling .svg into a compass plugin.

1. In Sketch: Right-click ➡️ Copy SVG
2. Paste SVG code into https://yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/ for background-image CSS prop
3. Copy that CSS into your less like so
