Aligning text in SVG

Question

I am trying to make SVG XML documents with a mixture of lines and brief text snippets (two or three words typically). The major problem I\'m having is getting the text align

Answer 1

It turns out that you don't need explicit text paths. Firefox 3 has only partial support of the vertical alignment tags (see this thread). It also seems that dominant-baseline only works when applied as a style whereas text-anchor can be part of the style or a tag attribute.

  Vertical




  Horizontal




  Bit of Both

This works in Firefox. Unfortunately Inkscape doesn't seem to handle dominant-baseline (or at least not in the same way).
