Topic: Tategaki and yokogaki

	Japanese language and computers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese has two directions of writing, called yokogaki and tategaki.
		The yokogaki style is the same as English, but the tategaki style involves columns of text written downwards, right to left.
		However, CSS level 3 includes a property writing-mode which can render tategaki when given the value tb-rl (top to bottom, right to left).

		In Japanese, horizontal writing is called yokogaki (横書き, "horizontal writing", also known as yokogumi, 横組み) and vertical writing is called tategaki (縦書き, "vertical writing", also known as tategumi, 縦組み).
		At the very beginning of the change to horizontal alignment in Japan, in the Meiji era, there was a short-lived form called migi yokogaki (右横書き, literally "right yokogaki"), in contrast to hidari yokogaki, (左横書き, literally "left yokogaki"), the current standard.
		Combined tategaki and yokogaki in the manga Doraemon.

		The word actually derives from the English "ruby", which is an old printer's term used to describe the small type used for this purpose.
		Tategaki: Although these days it is common to find Japanese documents written according to the Western convention of left-to-right and top-to-bottom (called "yokogaki"), the traditional top-to-bottom and right-to-left "tategaki" style is still widely used, especially in novels and newspapers.
		However, to avoid wrapping punctuation marks to the beginning of a line, it is permissible in some cases to add a punctuation mark in a position where it hands over the margin at the end of a line (as in the tategaki example above).

		While hiragana spells long vowels with the addition of a second vowel kana, katakana usually uses a vowel extender mark called a chōon.
		This mark is a short line following the direction of the text, horizontal in yokogaki, or horizontal, text, and vertical in tategaki, or vertical, text.
		However, it is more often used when writing foreign loanwords; long vowels in Japanese words written in katakana are usually written as they would be in hiragana.

		The use of apostrophes, hyphens, and capitalization is frequently not observed in placenames and personal names.
		For example, the majority of overseas Chinese of Taiwanese origin write their given names like "Tai Lun" or "Tai-Lun", whereas the Wade-Giles actually writes "Tai-lun".
		The capitalization issue arises partly because ROC passports indiscriminately capitalize all letters of the holder's names (beside the photograph).

		And writing-mode allows you to specify that you want to do top-to-bottom, right-to-left display.
		And this allows you to use that classical tategaki style that I talked about earlier, and it produces a really neat effect.
		There are no real sites using this right now because Internet Explorer 5.5, of course, is still in beta and is not yet released, but I encourage you to get ahold of the browser and to fool around with this attribute if this is something that interests you.
