Template:MongolUnicode/doc

Usage
This template is intended for use with text written in the Unicode "Mongolian" script. Note, the Unicode "Mongolian" script is a unification of the Mongolian, Todo, Manchu and Sibe scripts, and so this template can be used for text written in various different languages, including varieties of Mongolian (Classical Mongolian, Halh [khk] and Peripheral Mongolian [mvf]), as well as Manchu [mnc] and Sibe [sjo].


 * 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)

Issues
Currently only IE8 and above and Chrome version 17 and later support rendering the text in top-to-bottom, left-to-right format. The browsers Firefox, Opera and Safari will render the text as left-to-right, top-to-bottom. See also
 * http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-writing-modes/
 * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145503

For Webkit and Firefox nightlies, it seems -webkit-writing-mode:vertical-lr;-moz-writing-mode:vertical-lr; works, but there are so many rendering issues, that they are probably better off not being enabled yet.
