This is how is should display... Thanks mike

This looks more like rotated text. bz: Is there already an RFE for this somewhere (AFAIK all font rendering APIs (Win32/GDI, X11 und Mac) support rotated text... we would only need support for that in gfx/ and layout/).

"vertical" is correct, Roland. As for existing bugs, maybe. This is currently at an early standardization stage in CSS3, so we may not have any bugs on it (following the "don't file bugs on CSS3 stuff until it's in CR" policy). And yes, this would "just" need layout support.

A much newer draft of the same thing is http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-text-20030514

This is probably a duplicate of bug 145503 (writing-mode), since 'layout-flow' isn't in the 'css3-text; specification. (Or should this go to evangelism for IE-parity etc.?)

<http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/layoutflow.asp> > This is a deprecated property; use the writingMode property instead. If even MS thinks this is deprecated, Mozilla shouldn't even try implementing this. Marking as DUPLICATE of the writing-mode bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 145503 ***
