Usage

• 1st parameter is the Mongolian (Todo, Manchu, Sibe) text to display
• 2nd parameter is optional; if it is 'h' then the text is laid out horizontally; if it is any other value (e.g. 'v'), or if it is omitted then the text is laid out vertically (if the browser supports vertical layout)
• lang parameter: defines the language of the text, e.g. mn for Mongolian, mnc for Manchu, and sjo for Sibe; also used for switching font families by language
• style parameter: defines extended style of the text area, e.g. height:50px; limits the height as 50px, if the length of text is over than 50px, the rest of contents will align at the next column(s).

Issues

Currently only Internet Explorer 8 and above, Edge, Firefox 41 and above, and Webkit browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera 15.0+, Android native browser) support rendering the text in top-to-bottom, left-to-right format. Other browsers will render the text as left-to-right, top-to-bottom or don't connect the characters. See also:

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145503
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/writing-mode

For users of Firefox version 38.0–40.0 and Firefox 38 ESR based browsers, you need to open the about:config page, and set layout.css.vertical-text.enabled as true to enable it.
