Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
What is exactly the issue? Are you already using a xslt stylesheet and having trouble coding the change to that particular text span node? Or do you want general advice? If it's a one-of, can't you just open it in a text editor and change the text and save it?

Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
The Issue is, I'm converting the file to SVG format using Commandline in Asp.net, now as per the standard SVG provided by my end User the Text attributes are all outside the <g> tag, i.e, they are at the end of the file just above the closing of root svg("</svg>") but the one that is generated using inkscape conversion via commandline in my asp.net code is having the text attributes in the middle of file, so to make things work, I am trying to read XML and get all the Text attributes at the same place as is like the end user's file.I've attached the file generated by conversion.
Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
I must be a bit thick as I still don't fully get the picture. Once you're working with xml or svg the order of tags doesn't matter as long as they're in the correct place in the hierarchy of nodes. Therefore using a less procedural code, there must be xslt transforms available in asp.net, you shouldn't have to worry about the exact order of nodes or tags. If i'm not understanding your question correctly, can you upload the two other files you mention, for a visual comparison to make it clear as to what's going on. I can open your invitation no problem in inkscape, btw hope you changed the phone number in the file. The title on the invitation has weird kerning but that's all that i see wrong with it.

Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
So you want to grab a couple of text strings from earlier card design and transplant into new card? How many cards is involved? Have you had a go using dom or xslt?

Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
I've done everything by rewriting SVG, I'm just left with a last issue, i.e, setting positions of characters in a word, my client is using different fonts for different ai files, and svg files are dependent on positions to display words correctly, I can calculate positions but in case of different fonts it's a bit dodgy, can you help on that ?
Re: Append text attribute into Svg file
Why not set the anchor point to horizontal center point of the object. Hopefully the font is not too big or the text will spill outside. Otherwise you have a whole lot of calculations to do.
