Anyway to Do "Angled Text"?

Besides resorting to images.

Say, a headline tilted at 30° or something.


TIA!

OTOH, he may be interested in a slightly different alternative.
You don't care for SVG?

No, I do... I mean... well, I don't know much about it. Sounds sort of
Doctor Who like. I bet if he waived his pen thingy over a piece of paper
or monitor it would do a SVG sort of thing.

I sort of take the fanciful idea that we should be like poets determined
to make a go of the sonnet form except in our case, it should be
html/css. Now what usenet group is this? Yes, I am right surely? For a
moment I thought it might be alt.html - where, of course, anything goes
and some people (I will not mention names) make sure that lots of things
go... <g>

HTML5 categorizes SVG as one of "The elements of HTML".
I am on the same page with you re. "he who shall not be named".

I'm going to do my entire webpages in SVG from now on.
Has anyone got an HTML to SVG converter?

I wonder when IE will catch up? I have the IE8 beta on my spare laptop
and even that wanted to save it rather than render it.

Adobe dropped support for it, though it can still be downloaded.

Of course you could, but that may be going to the extreme and
unnecessary. The sample I provided is a self-standing SVG document,
however, one can include an SVG portion within an HTML document.
