Template:Transform-rotate

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A shorthanded CSS code for rotating elements inside style attribute. Use it inside the style="" attribute of HTML elements like other CSS properties.

When using this template to create the rotating effect, editors should carefully consider the accessibility.

Examples

The rotating happens at the center of the object and its effective dimensions will retain the original values of the object as if unrotated, so you may adjust the position and padding to avoid unwanted overlapping. Use the display= parameter to further control positioning.

Syntax	Result
Some rotated characters:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">5 5 5 5</syntaxhighlight>	5 5 5 5
Some rotated special characters (useful when the font-family has no italic or oblique font):
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">∫ ∫ ∫ ∫</syntaxhighlight>	∫ ∫ ∫ ∫
Works with numbers, too
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</syntaxhighlight>	0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Or with arbitrary text
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">This text is vertically aligned.   This text is upside down.</syntaxhighlight>	This text is vertically aligned.   This text is upside down.
This is a placeholder image, It is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html"> </syntaxhighlight>
This is a red horizontal line drawn across the text at the angle of 30 degree anticlockwise.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</syntaxhighlight>	Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Serious limitation:

Syntax	Result
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">The text will be rotated, but not the space the text need to display. So the cell is not tall enough, but much much too wide.</syntaxhighlight>	The text will be rotated, but not the space the text need to display. So the cell is not tall enough, but much much too wide.
