Allows authors to choose which side of a path SVG text follows using the side attribute on the textPath element. Setting side="right" effectively reverses the path direction for text layout, making it easy to place text inside or outside a circular path without duplicating or manually reversing the path data.
Authors placing text along a path have no way to flip which side of the path the text appears on. The side attribute lets authors write side="right" to place text on the opposite side of the path, without duplicating or reversing the path data. This helps label both the inside and outside of a shape, such as a circular path, with different text on each side.
