Here a bit of code which scatter each letter of a string into a vertical set
of blocks (ie: vertical string):
<xsl:template name="scatter-string">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="rotated"/>
<xsl:variable name="len"><xsl:value-of
select="string-length($text)"/></xsl:variable>
<!-- Concat the blocks containing each letters -->
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$rotated"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$len > 0">
<xsl:variable name="vrotated">
<xsl:text
><fo:block></xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring($text,1,1)"/>
<xsl:text
></fo:block></xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="scatter-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text">
<xsl:value-of
select="substring($text, 2)"/>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="rotated">
<xsl:value-of
select="$vrotated"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I hope this could help ;)

Objet : RE: How can I rotate text for a 90o sidebar?
The following code prints top to bottom, but the letters are stacked. It's
a starting point.
<svg:text x="1" y="1" writing-mode="tb" glyph-orientation-vertical="0"> YOUR
TEXT HERE </svg:text>

The only workaround I know of would be to use SVG to draw the rotated
text...
HTH!
