Can text be added to an SVG path?

Question

Is it possible to add text to an svg path, I have created a svg triangle and would like to add a letter to the center of this but not sure if this is possible?

Answer 1

Yes. See section 10.13 of the SVG1.1 specification (titled "Text on a path") for information on using the textPath element.

Summarized:

1. Give your path an id attribute.
2. Create My text here

Here's an example straight from the spec:
