I've had lots of times I wanted write Yes, this would for example be very useful for table cells in tables with many columns. A typical example is a boolean table with a top row (and left column) of labels in header cells, and with the data cells either empty or containing some single character to indicate presence. If the top row cell contents could be rotated 90 degrees, it could have a big effect on the width of the table. This is especially important when printing the table on paper. Next version of my program html2ps will have support for this (at first by using something like <TH class=rot90>). Jan Karrman Dept. of Scientific Computing Uppsala University Sweden jan@tdb.uu.se
