    REFRESHED! Styling vertical Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Mongolian text

    w3.org/International/articles/

    It explains how to use CSS to produce vertical text.

    This article was updated to include recent developments, and improve the format.

    Some new content was also added. For example, it indicates how to make select options vertical using emerging CSS properties. It also explains why horizontal script languages should not use vertical- properties, but sideways- properties instead.

    The same Korean table. As seen in horizontal text on the left, and vertical text on the right.

    @webi18n hmm there's a longstanding request in MediaWiki for supporting vertical text, with occasional experiments in the past... might be interesting to test with modern browsers!
