Template:Text direction

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

This template reflects or rotates text in one of the conventionally standard Unicode orientations:

• reversed (reflected horizontally)
• inverted (reflected vertically)
• turned (rotated 180 degrees)
• sideways (rotated -90 degrees)

This may be particularly useful when describing symbols from various phonetic transcription systems which are not directly supported by Unicode.

Under the hood, it's just a wrapper for {{Flip text}} and {{Rotate text}}.

Example

Input	Result
{{Text direction|reversed|This is reversed text}}	This is reversed text

Input	Result
{{Text direction|inverted|This is inverted text}}	This is inverted text

Input	Result
{{Text direction|turned|This is turned text}}	This is turned text

Input	Result
{{Text direction|sideways|This is sideways text}}	This is sideways text
