I have an SVG with some flowed text that has a hierarchy to it. My text currently looks like this:
But I'm trying to make it so the second paragraph is fully indented some X units, like so:
I'm trying to achieve this using a flowRoot element which doesn't seem to be too well-documented. I've tried transforming the flowPara, surrounding it in a group and transforming that, adding an x attribute, and various other random attributes/styles.
The relevant flowRoot is as follows:
<flowRoot id="flowRoot5170" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:40px;line-height:125%;font-family:Sans;letter-spacing:0px;word-spacing:0px;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" xml:space="preserve">
<flowRegion id="flowRegion5172">
<rect height="877.14288" id="rect5174" width="691.42859" x="25.714285" y="60.933632"/>
</flowRegion>
<flowPara id="flowPara5176">First Line</flowPara>
<flowPara id="flowPara5178">Second Line really long line aligned with first ones</flowPara>
</flowRoot>
And the full SVG:

flow*elements are probably under-documented because they are for SVG 1.2, which is not finished. Unless you are exporting to a different format, you probably want to avoid flowing text in the first place, since it's hard to predict support in other viewers.
