I'm writing a document in Chinese, and was wondering if there's a way to write text vertically, from right-to-left. There are several examples of what I mean on this page: Wikipedia: Horizontal and Vertical Writing in East Asian Scripts

I'm using LyX, but I have edited the preamble and worked with ERT before, so anything involving these is not a problem.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Note: Just to add, part of the document is also in English, so any method to change the text to vertical and right-to-left would have to be something which could be turned on and off.

  • Unfortunately, I don't think you can do this in one document, so you might have to typeset the Chinese section separately. But you might want to look more into uplatex documentation and see if something can be done. – Alenanno Oct 02 '16 at 09:58
  • @Alenanno, thank you very much for the tip! For some reason, this didn't come up in my searches as a possible solution. At first, it didn't seem like there was a way to make the text horizontal using UpTeX/UpLaTeX, but then when I looked at some of the examples here: http://www.t-lab.opal.ne.jp/tex/uptex_en.html -- they did show some with horizontal text and others with vertical. Thanks again for the help! – Aces Oct 02 '16 at 10:25
  • I would suggest using p(la)tex or up(la)tex, the Japanese variants that support vertical typesetting out of the box. – norbert Oct 02 '16 at 13:18
