Hi, Just adding to Dave's answer:
Starting with SVG1.1 and implmented fully in SVG1.2, there is the concept of textboxes. However, SVG1.0 does not support this. Here is the SVG1.2 TR section addressing text flow: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/flow.html There are a myriad of examples on the internet of the textbox problem. Gerally there are two approaches to the problem: 1) Render serverside and adjust font to fit space, then publish to the client. This requires a canvas-aware serverside processor such as Batik 2) Send to the client with javascript like David does. This requires script-aware browsers and requires clientside resources.
