With text I wasn't experimenting too much, apart from the example where it follows a line.

I know there is text anchor: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/t...

And someone suggested the foreignObject tag that might be useful here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/for...

While most of the SVG text examples I've seen have a "word art" type of feel to them, I was mostly thinking it would be nice to show another common use case.

Recently, I've been using Standard Ebooks' toolkit to convert my Master's Defense into EPUB. SE uses SVG as its image format for covers - along with a few scaled JPGs. Unsurprisingly, all of this starts out as text and there is extensive use of text-anchor to get the alignment right.

Although they use XHTML as the primary input format, foreignObject is a concept I haven't encountered before, might be worth checking out...
