{{SVGRef}}
The **`letter-spacing`** attribute controls spacing between text characters.
If the attribute value is a unitless number (like `128`), the browser processes it as a {{cssxref("length")}} in the current user coordinate system.
If the attribute value has a unit identifier, such as `.25em` or `1%`, then the browser converts the \<length> into its corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.
> [!NOTE]
> As a presentation attribute, `letter-spacing` can be used as a CSS property. See the CSS {{cssxref("letter-spacing")}} property for more information.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
- {{SVGElement("text")}}
- {{SVGElement("textPath")}}
- {{SVGElement("tref")}}
- {{SVGElement("tspan")}}
## Example
```css hidden
html,
body,
svg {
height: 100%;
}
```
```html
<svg viewBox="0 0 400 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<text y="20" letter-spacing="2">Bigger letter-spacing</text>
<text x="200" y="20" letter-spacing="-0.5">Smaller letter-spacing</text>
</svg>
```
{{EmbedLiveSample("Example", "200", "30")}}
