the SVG syntax (it's text... or rather xml, which is text) is rather
simple, if all you need is a unformatted text (aka single line) it can
be as simple as using a template and performing substitution of the text
in it.

The more complicated issue is giving the right dimension to the
container. Height for a single line can be easy, but width for a
non-mono font is going to be complex.
