How to add line breaks to SVG text with JavaScript?

To add line breaks to SVG text with JavaScript, we set the text location explicitly.

For instance, we write

g.append("svg:text")
  .attr("x", 0)
  .attr("y", 30)
  .attr("class", "id")
  .append("svg:tspan")
  .attr("x", 0)
  .attr("dy", 5)
  .text((d) => {
    return d.name;
  })
  .append("svg:tspan")
  .attr("x", 0)
  .attr("dy", 20)
  .text((d) => {
    return d.sName;
  })
  .append("svg:tspan")
  .attr("x", 0)
  .attr("dy", 20)
  .text((d) => {
    return d.idCode;
  });

to call attr with 'dy' to set the y position of the tspan element relative to the first tspan.
