Description Mark Hung 2018-02-11 02:49:47 UTC
Description:
In ODF, style:writing-mode attribute of style:page-layout-properties[1] defines the writing direction. According to [1], it can also appear in paragraph properties, section properties, table properties, and table cell properties, though writer UI allows only it be defined in page, table cell, and text frame. 

Vertical writing is typically used in literature or novel in traditional Chinese. So the feature make sense in the context of digital book.

There is a piece of writing mode definition in it's stylesheet.css.
body{
	font-size: 100%;
	-epub-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
  	-webkit-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
  	writing-mode: vertical-rl;
  	-epub-line-break: normal;
  	vertical-align: baseline;
