How do you get words to wrap inside a box in RaphaelJS? Or in browser-based SVG in general?
I found this thread on it, but it doesn’t make any sense. They say to use “widthToCharNum” but as far as I can tell, this thread is the only place those words have ever been used on the internet. They suggest using a “width” attribute, but this has no effect.
Text-wrapping is not built into Raphael or the SVG spec. Period. Coming from the HTML world, I found the absence of text wrapping pretty shocking.
However, you can do it yourself without too much difficulty. See this question for details and an example. Unfortunately, you have to burn some client-side cycles to make it work dynamically.
