Hi Kun,

If what you want are text labels inside the SVG files for your library floor map, add the text to the images areas but do not convert the text to raster or vector outlines.
Please feel free to provide additional clarification or reach out to me directly, if I can help.

Best,
Guita

Hi Kun,
SVG includes two elements for providing short and long text descriptions: The “title” and “desc” elements. This link on text in an SVG file may be helpful:

Hi

Anyone has experience in creating accessible SVG floor map?  I am wondering
if there is a way to add descriptions in SVG to each block (path or rect).
Or I am being limited to the alt tag in HTML.



Thanks

Kun
