@Spamboy

To answer your question: It might be useful if you had one of those stupid newsletters with a question-and-answer section. Like, “How many comments on this article were facetious? A: 6; B: 42; C: All of them; D: Turtles.” Then have an answer key later on the page, with the text upside down. Really useful stuff.

Just today was a new Drupal module released to achieve this exact same thing (http://drupalmodules.com/module/upside-down). My question is the same as everyone else’s it seems - Why the hell would I want to do that?!

@Spamboy: Yes you did, just making fun :) I think most use cases would be purely decorational. Or perhaps if you are going to print something that folds? I’m sure you can come up with better ideas youself :)

And Spamboy still hasn’t had his question answered. :)

Oh… that could be very useful point for some designs…
I’m upset.
Maybe there are any means for doing this?

Why on earth would I ever want to do this lol? I want my clients to be able to read their sites.

If its undocumented, its probably because it doesn’t garentee to work on all PCs. Like mine. I get a few upside down characters, but most are replaced with boxes (i.e. missing characters)

It this attribute just not well documented? I have never heard about this attribute, it could be useful in making simple wordArt sort of things on pages
