Sorry to jump into this discussion without potentially understanding all the details, but while it is to a large extent possible e.g. in Japanese to switch from horizontal to vertical just by switching styling, there are some aspects of this switch that need more work. A typical example is that in horizontal text, you may use Arabic numerals (0123...), whereas in vertical text, Kanji numbers (〇一二三...) may be preferred. Regards, Martin. -- #-# Martin J.
