Hello again!
I really enjoy Affinity but there is only one thing that bothers me so I turn to you professionals.
I make svg that will be handled by another software to make html pages.
Some text fields are too big so I need to divide it to two rows.
I do this by writing first-MH1 and then take ctrl+enter and then continue with the rest: -J100.
But in SVG this becomes two different "textboxes" I need it to be one.
I have tried both Artistic text tool and Frame text tool and it still becomes two different boxes.

So is there any way of having text over two rows that is only in one text box in the svg?
The output is used for mouse over functions at the actual html page, it looks like this:
https://tekdok.nibe.se/webdav/files/Documents/ODM/affinity.html
So as seen the -MH1-J100 is showing the correct mouse over.
But below it shows one for MH1 and another for J100.

I hope you guys understand what I means, I have no clue what all terms are in english... :)
And one last thing, this works fine with Illustrator. So I cannot understand what the difference is when it comes to text in SVG?

Hi @Hietaharju :)

I've tried various options within Affinity & checked with our team here, unfortunately I don't believe this is possible when exporting SVG files currently - my apologies.

I'll be logging this as an improvement with our developers now, to allow control of using text spans when line breaks are used, rather than writing each line as a new text object within the SVG.

I hope this helps!

Hello @Dan C and thank you for your reply!
That would be really appreciated, I need for now to see if I can come up with a workaround. Maybe the software we are using can make a script for it.

Thank you and have a great day!
