Yeah I know I have a one-track mind about this, but it's something that I really want to see happen. After looking at some old Dada posters I decided that it would not only be cool to be able to rotate text in a straight line along a given angle (something like: <div text-rotate="90" dir="left">), but also to be able to rotate text within a curve (which would be more like <div text-curve="circle" radius="6" placement="within">). So you could have text fall within a circle or an ellipse, or other curves, with a given radius (or distance to a focal point), and also have that text placed on the inside or the outside of the curve. For a graphic representation of what I'm talking about, please refer to http://www.peak.org/~dadaist/Art/poster.gif (it's about a 62KB image), a scanned copy of the poster for the 1923 play "The Bearded Heart." Comments on feasibility would be greatly appreciated. -John -- $ John D.
