Hi
I want to put some text in the region-start that is written
vertically, i.e.,
l
i
k
e
t
h
i

I've played with writing-mode and reference-orientation, but I
can't quite get that effect.
Which combinations did you try exactly?
Reference-orientation is of no use by itself, since it will rotate
the whole sentence instead of the individual characters.
Just noticed that our compliance page indicates none of the writing-
mode related properties to be implemented [*]
OTOH, I do seem to remember reading reports from users working with
different writing-modes with success (could be wrong)
[*] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-
writingmode-section
Am I going to have to resort to putting the individual characters
in fo:character elements, or is there a cleverer way to do it?
The most clever way I can think of in pure XSL-FO to mimic that would
be to inject linefeed-characters in the stylesheet, so it generates
FO like:
<fo:block linefeed-
treatment="preserve">l
i
k
e

t
h
i&#
x0A;s
.</fo:block>
Should work nicely.
HTH!
Cheers
Andreas
