The spacing attribute indicates how the user agent should determine the spacing between typographic characters that are to be rendered along a path.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

• <textPath>

Value	auto | exact
Default value	exact
Animatable	Yes

auto

This value indicates that the user agent should use text-on-a-path layout algorithms to adjust the spacing between typographic characters in order to achieve visually appealing results.

exact

This value indicates that the typographic characters should be rendered exactly according to the spacing rules as specified by the layout rules for text-on-a-path.
