<foreignObject>
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
The <foreignObject>
SVG element includes elements from a different XML namespace. In the context of a browser, it is most likely (X)HTML.
Example
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<style>
div {
color: white;
font: 18px serif;
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
</style>
<polygon points="5,5 195,10 185,185 10,195" />
<!-- Common use case: embed HTML text into SVG -->
<foreignObject x="20" y="20" width="160" height="160">
<!--
In the context of SVG embedded in an HTML document, the XHTML
namespace could be omitted, but it is mandatory in the
context of an SVG document
-->
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed mollis mollis
mi ut ultricies. Nullam magna ipsum, porta vel dui convallis, rutrum
imperdiet eros. Aliquam erat volutpat.
</div>
</foreignObject>
</svg>
