It is possible to put text in shape files. I may even have be caught saying
you can't, but when I looked into it, it is possible. As you say, there may
be cross-platform issues.
Anyway, here's how to do it:
To place text in a shape, use the svg:text element. It has the folowing
style attributes which may be set:
font-family:
font-size:
text-anchor: start or end
The text is then placed in the svg:text element. For example
<svg:text x="0" y="0" style="text-anchor:start;">Test</svg:text>
will place the text Test starting at (0,0).
I note that this feature was added on 2001-05-18 but is completely
undocumented (excluding ChangeLog and objects/custom/test.xml). I will
submit a bug regarding the lack of doco (#86402). I should write the doco...
Regards,
Rob.
