### [2.1. Case Transforms: the ‘text-transform’ property](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#text-transform-property)

When producing publications or e-books, it is common to rewrite texts made for horizontal writing to suit vertical formats. This kind of rewriting, considering its cost and the principle of separating content and presentation, is undesirable. Discussion was held about creating a property that could format horizontal texts for vertical presentation. This request is for a future version, not for Level 4.

According to Fantasai, while CSS can handle simple text contexts, doing so involves complications. If it involves many context-dependent adjustments, it might be good to rely on scripts such as JavaScript or Python.

It was decided that the JLReq TF should first compile a document detailing the necessary conversions when changing horizontal text to vertical.

##### Actions
The JLReq TF will compile a document detailing the necessary transformations from horizontal to vertical text. If possible, a script will be created to perform these transformations.
