Description

This issue is applicable to most languages.

Vertical text may occur for special effects (the spine of a book, table column headings, etc). Typographically, it is simply horizontal text that is rotated. There is no way to do this effectively until browsers support the new CSS properties.

For more details, see this GitHub issue, which is being used to track this gap. Please add any discussion there, and not to this issue.
