Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Add examples of columns in vertical text (#6301)

The issue with Chinese is more complicated. I grew up with papers that had RTL vertical text with RTL heads (whether horizontal or vertical). I used to work in a newspaper publisher (quite a while ago) and was told because there’s no horizontal RTL support in layout software, people actually typeset the RTL heads by typing the heads backwards.

We also now have even LTR vertical text (it’s been at least a decade now, if not longer) and obviously, there’s no layout software that can do this because non–Chinese speakers wouldn’t know there’s such a thing.
