text-orientation
CSS text-orientation Property
The text-orientation property specifies the orientation of characters in a line.
It has five values: mixed, upright, sideways, sideways-right, use-glyph-orientation. All of them work in vertical typographic modes.
This property had the “sideways-left” and the “sideways-right” values, now they are redefined as one the “sideways-right” value. Instead, the “sideways-lr” and the “sideways-rl” values are added to the writing-mode property for using it with non-vertical writing systems.
The text-orientation property has an effect only when writing-mode is “vertical”.

<h2>Text-orientation property example</h2>
<div class="example">
<h1>Lorem Ipsum</h1>
<p>
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Values
Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| mixed | The characters are rotated 90° clockwise. This is the default value of this property. |
| upright | The characters of horizontal scripts are laid out naturally (upright), as well as the glyphs for vertical scripts. This property makes all the characters to be considered as left-to-right: the used value of direction is forced to be ltr. |
| sideways | The characters are laid out as they would be horizontally, but with the whole line rotated 90° clockwise. |
| sideways-right | An alias to sideways that is kept for compatibility purposes. |
| use-glyph-orientation | Leads to use the value of the obsolete SVG properties glyph-orientation-vertical |
| and glyph-orientation-horizontal. | |
| This value is not in use anymore. | |
| initial | It makes the property use its default value. |
| inherit | It inherits the property from its parents element. |
