How to display multiple lines of text in SVG?

by

It looks like this will space the lines one after another without hard-coding a font size in each tspan. Font at 15px: 

<svg style="border:1px solid black" >
    <text x="0" y="0" font-size="15" dy="0">
        <tspan x="0" dy=".6em">tspan line 1</tspan>
        <tspan x="0" dy="1.2em">tspan line 2</tspan>
        <tspan x="0" dy="1.2em">tspan line 3</tspan>
    </text>
</svg>

If you change the font size the lines continue to be spaced at 120% apart from each other or 1.2em. Font at 20px:

<svg style="border:1px solid black" >
    <text x="0" y="0" font-size="20" dy="0">
        <tspan x="0" dy=".6em">tspan line 1</tspan>
        <tspan x="0" dy="1.2em">tspan line 2</tspan>
        <tspan x="0" dy="1.2em">tspan line 3</tspan>
    </text>
</svg>
