SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics. You can use text in SVG to add various types of text elements to your graphics. Here are some ways to use text in SVG:

1. <text> Element: The <text> element is used to create simple text elements. You can specify the text content and position within the SVG canvas.

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <text x="10" y="40">Hello, SVG!</text>
   </svg>
   

2. Text Styling: You can apply various styling options to the text, such as font size, font family, fill color, stroke, etc.

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <text x="10" y="40" font-family="Arial" font-size="20" fill="blue">Styled Text</text>
   </svg>
   

3. <tspan> Element: The <tspan> element allows you to group multiple text spans within a single <text> element. This is useful for applying different styles to different parts of the text.

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <text x="10" y="40">
       <tspan fill="red">Red</tspan>
       <tspan fill="green" dx="5">Green</tspan>
       <tspan fill="blue" dx="5">Blue</tspan>
     </text>
   </svg>
   

4. Text Paths: You can place text along a path using the <textPath> element. This allows you to create text that follows a specific shape or curve.

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <path id="myPath" d="M10 80 Q 52.5 10, 95 80 T 180 80" />
     <text>
       <textPath href="#myPath">Curved Text</textPath>
     </text>
   </svg>
   

5. Text Rotation: You can rotate text using the rotate attribute.

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <text x="10" y="40" transform="rotate(45 10,40)">Rotated Text</text>
   </svg>
   

6. Text Alignment: You can use the text-anchor attribute to specify the alignment of the text. Values can be "start," "middle," or "end."

   xml
   <svg width="300" height="100">
     <text x="10" y="40" text-anchor="start">Start</text>
     <text x="150" y="40" text-anchor="middle">Middle</text>
     <text x="290" y="40" text-anchor="end">End</text>
   </svg>
   

These are just a few examples, and SVG provides a rich set of features for working with text. You can explore additional attributes and elements to customize text in SVG according to your design needs.
