side
The side
attribute determines the side of a path the text is placed on (relative to the path direction).
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<text>
<textPath href="#circle1" side="left">Text left from the path</textPath>
</text>
<text>
<textPath href="#circle2" side="right">Text right from the path</textPath>
</text>
<circle id="circle1" cx="100" cy="100" r="70" fill="transparent" stroke="silver"/>
<circle id="circle2" cx="320" cy="100" r="70" fill="transparent" stroke="silver"/>
</svg>
