You have the following options.
- You can, as you’ve mentioned, add more than one
text
element with the appropriate spacing. - You can also use multiple
tspan
elements within atext
element to the same effect. Again, you would have to set the spacing yourself. - You can use
foreignObject
to embed a suitable HTML element (e.g. adiv
) that will take care of the line breaking, spacing etc. for you. For an example of that, see e.g. here.
I would go with the HTML embedding option unless you have a specific reason not to. It makes the actual text formatting so much easier than the other options.
