Originally presented at the Internationalization & Unicode Conference in October 2007, this talk will describe some of the features that enable the use of vertical text that have been or are planned for inclusion in the W3C formatting standards, such as CSS, SVG and XSL. The presenter will describe facilities for placing vertical text, aligning mixed texts, such as Western alphabetic or Arabic texts with East Asian texts.
Steve Zilles has been involved with the W3C since 1994 and has been a participant in both the CSS and XSL Working Groups. He has worked for Adobe Systems, Inc since 1992 in areas related to text formatting and rendering. He was active in the design of the ISO print description language and in the use of Postscript and PDF as standards for publishing.
