<text> - SVG | MDN

<text>

The <text> SVG element draws a graphics element consisting of text. It’s possible to apply a gradient, pattern, clipping path, mask, or filter to <text>, like any other SVG graphics element.

If text is included in SVG not inside of a <text> element, it is not rendered. This is different than being hidden by default, as setting the display property won’t show the text.

Note: The <text> element does not wrap by default, to make this happen it needs to be styled with the white-space CSS property.
