# tspan

The SVG tspan element defines a subtext within a text element or another tspan element. It allows for adjustment of the style and/or position of that subtext as needed.

Usually, this element is create with:

const tspan = parentElement.add('tspan')

It's possible create as a disconnected element with gySVG('tspan') and attach it to the SVG document with .attachTo().
