I had not thought about this before but earlier today I wondered if a link could be written vertically.
That entire;y depends on the file format. In HTML, you can use the "transform" CSS property to rotate anything. n a PDF you can add a link to anything, which includes text rotated to be veritical.
Anything in particular you had in mind?
Thank you for the info. One of my final year project students is developing an android language (English and Japanese and Arabic) learning app. During our meeting yesterday we were discussing various ideas. One of these ideas was to allow the user to switch between horizontal left to right Japanese and vertical top to bottom Japanese. There are considerations for the User Interface when using vertical Japanese text. He will be incorporating a chat facility into his app. With left to right or right to left horizontal text the flow of a chat conversation would be top down. With Japanese vertical text the flow of the chat conversation would be right to left. It was not till after our project meeting I thought about vertical links, hence the experiment. André Schappo
