Vertical Text

[Tobias - http://tbGTD.tiddlyspot.com]

Hi everone,

Can anyone explain how TiddlyPocketBook achieves the vertical text-
layout using the 'PrintTheme'?
Is that just working for chrome?

It's the print stylesheet which uses webkit CSS transform features,
but which can be applied to other browsers ..

the source code is here:

That feature is currently supported by Safari and Chrome, but I can
add the moz versions for Firefox 3.5

One of the issues is that the pocket book is scaled for A4 printing
and it would be nice to support US "letter" as well. I've been
considering changing it to output credit-card sized pages which should
leave room to print instructions around the edge on A4/letter sheets.

We've also been wondering about pre-scored or perforated paper, but
have no idea on where to get that sourced?

I was wondering if one could come up with a class definition that
would allow vertical text with ''all'' current versions of major
browsers, like vR & vL (indicating orientation)

So, the moz variant would be cool and maybe IE's tb-lr too. That way
having a neat working solution accross browsers.

I'm very happy to incorporate code/css contributions, should you or
anybody
else come up with a cross-browser solution.
