The side attribute determines the side of a path the text is placed on (relative to the path direction).
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<text>
<textPath href="#circle1" side="left">Text left from the path</textPath>
</text>
<text>
<textPath href="#circle2" side="right">Text right from the path</textPath>
</text>
<circle
id="circle1"
cx="100"
cy="100"
r="70"
fill="transparent"
stroke="silver" />
<circle
id="circle2"
cx="320"
cy="100"
r="70"
fill="transparent"
stroke="silver" />
</svg>
