svg-add-space

Use Case

If you ever try to copy the multiple lines of text in SVG, you will get this:

This is English. You needto add space for every<text> element in thisFrame Textexceptthelast line.

Note that there is no space before linebreak, so you will see words like needto and Textexceptthelast.

This tool will insert 1 space before each linebreak, so anyone can copy the text without wordslikethis.
