The word-spacing attribute specifies spacing behavior between words.
If a <length> is provided without a unit identifier (e.g. an unqualified number such as 128), the browser processes the <length> as a width value in the current user coordinate system.
If a <length> is provided with one of the unit identifiers (e.g. .25em or 1%), then the browser converts the <length> into a corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.
Note: As a presentation attribute, word-spacing can be used as a CSS property. See the css word-spacing property for more information.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 250 50" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<text y="20" word-spacing="2">Bigger spacing between words</text>
<text x="0" y="40" word-spacing="-0.5">Smaller spacing between words</text>
</svg>
