While it's nice to show that columns in a vertical text are a thing, this is a sufficiently complicated and subtle topic I'm not sure we should get too far into vertical text questions in the multicol spec. Something like the Mongolian example above is probably fine, as it's just multicol in vertical, but the earlier Japanese example involves page floats, and getting into mixed writing modes example with some text being vertical and some being horizontal, and dealing with whether the horizontal bits are LTR or RTL seem way out of scope for multicol. If we want a vertical-rl example as well, it should be something rather simple only involving multicol (possibly with spanners), to avoid overwhelming the reader. I am a firm proponent of making sure all these things work and of enabling complex examples with mixed writing modes and mixed conditionality, but I don't think multicol is the right place to get into that. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6301#issuecomment-867312699 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
