The xlink:title attribute is used to describe the meaning of a link or resource in a human-readable fashion.

The use of this information is highly dependent on the type of processing being done. It may be used, for example, to make titles available to applications used by visually impaired users, or to create a table of links, or to present help text that appears when a user lets a mouse pointer hover over a starting resource.

Note: New content should use a <title> child element rather than a xlink:title attribute.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Usage context

Value <anything>
Default value None
Animatable No
<anything>

This value specifies the title used to describe the meaning of the link or resource.
