Specification
https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/text.html#TextPathElementSideAttribute


Summary
The side attribute on the SVG <textPath> element places text on the opposite 
side of the path, equivalent to reversing the path direction. This lets authors 
label a shape's interior or exterior (eg text inside vs. outside a circular 
path) without duplicating or manually reversing path data.


Blink component
Blink>SVG


Web Feature ID
No information provided


Motivation
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.

None

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
The SVG WG resolved to add IDL constants for side, but this hasn't yet been 
reflected in the published Editor's Draft text - an editorial gap, not an open 
design question (https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/1086).
