How do I rotate text in css?

How do I rotate text in CSS to get following output:

enter image description here

The problem I am facing is that when we rotate the text then it breaks the alignment and positions. So what is causing that, and how can I manage them?

HTML:

<div class="mainWrapper">
    <div class="rotateObj">
        <div class="title active">First Text Title</div>
        <div class="content">
            Here goes my bla bla bla text and more stuffs...
            Here goes my bla bla bla text and more stuffs...
            Here goes my bla bla bla text and more stuffs...

     h5 {    
            transform: matrix(0,-1,1,0,-9,-18);
            white-space:nowrap;
            display:block;
            bottom:0;
            width:20px;
            height:20px;
            margin: 0;
     }
     div {
     padding-top:70px;
     }
<div>
<h5>Hello World</h5>
</div>

start writing from bottom, from left to right, this working for both image and text

or using rotate, turn

     h5 {    
            transform: rotate(-1.250turn);
            white-space:nowrap;
            display:block;
            bottom:0;
            width:20px;
            height:20px;
            margin: 0;
     }
     div {
     padding-top:70px;
     }
<div>
<h5>Hello World</h5>
</div>

I think you need to use transform: rotate(0.5turn);

enter image description here

also you can

<div style="position:relative;display:block; height:125px;width:300px;">
    <div class="status">
        <div class="inner-point">
            <div class="inner nowrap">
                Some text
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<style>
.status {
    position: absolute;
    background: #009FE3;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 37px;
}

.status .inner-point {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    background: red;
    width: 37px;
    height: 37px;
}

.status .inner {
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 20px;
    line-height: 27px;
    letter-spacing: 0.2px;
    color: white;
    transform: rotate(-90deg);
}
</style>

Using writing-mode and transform.

.rotate {
     writing-mode: vertical-lr;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-180deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(-180deg);
}


<span class="rotate">Hello</span>

In your case, it's the best to use rotate option from transform property as mentioned before. There is also writing-mode property and it works like rotate(90deg) so in your case, it should be rotated after it's applied. Even it's not the right solution in this case but you should be aware of this property.

Example:

writing-mode:vertical-rl;

You need to use the CSS3 transform property rotate - see here for which browsers support it and the prefix you need to use.

One example for webkit browsers is -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);

Edit: The question was changed substantially so I have added a demo that works in Chrome/Safari (as I only included the -webkit- CSS prefixed rules). The problem you have is that you do not want to rotate the title div, but simply the text inside it. If you remove your rotation, the <div>s are in the correct position and all you need to do is wrap the text in an element and rotate that instead.

There already exists a more customisable widget as part of the jQuery UI - see the accordion demo page. I am sure with some CSS cleverness you should be able to make the accordion vertical and also rotate the title text :-)

Edit 2: I had anticipated the text center problem and have already updated my demo. There is a height/width constraint though, so longer text could still break the layout.

Edit 3: It looks like the horizontal version was part of the original plan but I cannot see any way of configuring it on the demo page. I was incorrect… the new accordion is part of the upcoming jQuery UI 1.9! So you could try the development builds if you want the new functionality.

Hope this helps!

I guess this is what you are looking for?

Added an example:

The html:

<div class="example-date">
  <span class="day">31</span> 
  <span class="month">July</span> 
  <span class="year">2009</span>
</div>

The css:

.year
{
    display:block;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg); 
    -moz-transform: rotate(-90deg); 
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3); //For IE support
}

Alle examples are from the mentioned site.

You can use like this...

<div id="rot">hello</div>

#rot
{
   -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg); 
   -moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);    
    width:100px;
}
