Hi friends
Is there a way to set line spacing (line height) between lines of flowed text? line-height in flowPara element doesn't work.
That's one of the reasons why flowtext is not yet officially supported. The problem is, I don't see in the SVG 1.2 draft any mechanism for line height! I just recently ran into this, so I'm cross-posting this to the devel list hoping that someone can share some insight on this. I could not even find a mention of line height here:
If someone is more lucky than I, I would be grateful for a pointer.
Now, I'm reasonably sure that the mechanism SVG has in mind is the line-height CVS property. However it is not mentioned anywhere in the draft, which worries me. I can implement line-height support but I want to be sure first.
And for text justification / alignment text-align doesn't work too.
That is less problematic, SVG draft mentions the text-align property which we must support.

The only mention is this:
"Next the line-box is calculated, from the top/right edge of the line, the line-height and the bounding box of the flow region."
What is "line-height"? Is this the CSS property (since hyphenated) or just a descriptive phrase meaning the height of the bbox of the line (since there's no word "property" and that property is not mentioned anywhere else)?

I wonder, if svg mailing list members are any helpful ;)
