Default how does one get vertical text in HTML?

Isn't there a way to present text vertically on a web page? I desperately need this functionality but now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a rotated piece of text anywhere on the web. Anyone?

It is via CSS and it can be done. My private website's contact page uses this for two field group "titles"... see:

Use of 'filter' within styles and then specify the appropriate class.

Previously - I used a graphic - this CSS controlled text is much faster to display.

FYI - I stopped using the CSS to display vertical text. It works in IE only... so all the non-IE browsers would end up "seeing a junked up screen"... unfortunately we must take this into account.

I created my new logo with this method - but then made it into a graphic... for compatibility.

Sorry.

CSS used was:
    writing-mode: tb-rl;
    filter: flipV() flipH();
