When creating a caption, many options are available as Text direction. However, LTR (vertical) is not available. It would be great if it was added since the user may need it for some special cases.

The only script with this direction is ancient Mongolian. Does anyone need it in modern documents?
(In reply to comment #4) > The only script with this direction is ancient Mongolian. Does anyone need > it in modern documents? This feature request was added when I was writing an essay during my master degree. At some point, because of the writing protocol we had to follow, it would have been easier and quicker to flip the caption using this feature in a special manner. However, I can't remember exactly of the case I was facing at the time, so it may be simpler to close this feature request for now. If someone faces a case where it is needed, he may reopen it.
(In reply to Urmas from comment #4) > The only script with this direction is ancient Mongolian. Does anyone need > it in modern documents? Yes, this feature is very important for us - 3,000,000 pepole living Inner Mongolian of China. We are using vertical Mongolian script even now. So please do not give up and complete support for vertical Mongolian script. Thank you very much.

The Mongolian script is not only used for Mongolian in Inner Mongolia of PRC, but also used for Manchu, Sibe and Daur, you can find these materials in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Xinjiang of PRC, so this typesetting is very useful for their people who speaking in these languages.
(In reply to Urmas from comment #4) > The only script with this direction is ancient Mongolian. Does anyone need > it in modern documents? Yes, this script is widely used in Mongolian speaking people in PRC, you're easy to find these documents. If you want to find them, you can copy these strings from here to Google, Bing, Yahoo Search etc: ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ filetype:pdf
Created attachment 117979 [details] Wrong typesetting for Traditional Mongolian in LibreOffice 5 As my attachment shown, there is no way of setting LTR (vertical) layout in LibreOffice, I suggest you should add a menu at the "Text direction from top to bottom" button, to choose which text direction is avilable.

Modern Hangul also uses LTR column in vertical writing mode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hyeoruinu.jpg
I think the “Text direction from top to buttom” button should adding an option to allow user to choose RTL or LTR column mode for vertical layout.
Recent version of MS Office have found a serious bug for LTR (vertical), so there is your way. http://abkai.net/core/en/read-me-first/

Unicode has a Technical Note related to this layout, I think you should implement. http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn22/
(In reply to Urmas from comment #4) > The only script with this direction is ancient Mongolian. Does anyone need > it in modern documents? Inner Mongolian University has already implemented LTR (vertical) layout in their Office suite. Click here for more informations if you can read Chinese: http://www.mglip.com/profro01.htm
Since Firefox has already implemented this writing direction, this can be implemented in LibreOffice based on Gecko’s implementation.
On SourceForge there is a repository which has a sample to use LTR line direction for vertical texts. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tmeditor/
SignWriting also uses this direction. On Wikimedia Incubator some editors have already implemented it. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/ase

Where to enable it?
The same place you enable RTL (vertical).
I found no way to use in the text box 1. Add Text direction from top to bottom item in Format menu (I have done several days ago) 2. Insert a text box and input ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠪᠢᠴᠢᠭ with separate line 3. Make it vertically with that menu item 4. Format > Paragraph > Alignment, then I don’t found it.
OK I got it on Page dialog, but it cannot applied into textbox.
we have already solved the layout problem of traditional Mongolian and release our Original version of LibreOffice which is called DelehiOffice. We consider to merge our code to LibreOffice at right timing.
