There is currently no well supported way to orient text vertically
with CSS, correct?
There is currently no way, well-supported or otherwise, to do this
with CSS. I thought it was being added to CSS3, but, surprisingly, I
cannot locate such a thing in a quick check of the draft specs. If it
is there, and someone has the reference handy, please share it.
MSIE supports 'vertical text', assuming you mean text running top-right
to bottom-left. But only for East-Asian languages, afaik.
The first CSS3 Text Module draft had this included as well.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-text-20030514/#TextLayout>
The latest draft, released recently, does not include (vertical) text
layout.
< http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-text-20050627/>
but mentions an upcoming 'Text Layout module' draft.
(a preview of that draft, authored by fantasai, can be found here:
<http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2005/utn22/>,
very interesting, but not in the category light Sunday morning reading)
Depending on your needs, one way to have a short string of text display
vertically (eg a heading), would be the combination of float and narrow
width on the container.
