In Jonathan's example, preserving space or not has no effect on the outcome (should have no effect). The space in question is a single space inside a tspan. > <text x='30' y='30' font-size='18px' text-anchor='middle'> > <tspan x='30' dy='3.5em' font-weight='bold' fill='crimson' text-anchor='start'> </tspan> > <tspan x='100'>$ 277</tspan> The dy='3.5em' should be respected and "$ 277" should start at x='100',y='30 + 3.5em'. 'null' character or empty tspan, in this example should be ignored. The important, and possibly not obvious, point from the dx (dy) definition - "If more <length>s are provided than characters, then any extra <length>s will have no effect on glyph positioning." If there are zero characters, then _all_ dx <length>s are extra and have no effect on positioning. > <text x='30' y='30' font-size='18px' text-anchor='middle'> > <tspan x='30' dy='2.5em' font-weight='bold' fill='crimson' text-anchor='start'></tspan> > <tspan x='100'>$ 183</tspan> The dy='2.5em' is ignored because there is no character which it can be assigned to. The "$ 183" should start at x='100',y='30'.
