Line 7 ⟶ 9:

*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)

*<ttcode>lang</ttcode> parameter: defines the language of the text, e.g. <ttcode>mn</ttcode> for Mongolian, <ttcode>mnc</ttcode> for Manchu, and <ttcode>sjo</ttcode> for Sibe; also used for switching font families by language

*<ttcode>style</ttcode> parameter: defines extended style of the text area, e.g. <ttcode>height:50px</ttcode> limits the height as 50px, if the length of text is over than 50px, the rest of contents will align at the next column(s).

*In addition, you can override the defaults for <ttcode>font-size</ttcode>, <ttcode>line-height</ttcode>, and <ttcode>display</ttcode> using likewise named parameters.

If you have a long run of vertical Mongolian text (i.e. more than one or two words) embedded in a horizontal English paragraph, it will create a very large gap between lines, so it is best to break long vertical runs of Mongolian text into short word-lengthed chunks. This can be done by wrapping each Mongolian word in a separate MongolUnicode template, and separating each MongolUnicode template by a space character (if you omit the space character the Mongolian text will format correctly, but if a user copies the Mongolian text from the article the individual words will be concatenated into a single word). Do not use <nowiki><br/></nowiki> to break vertical Mongolian runs for unnecessary purpose as this causes problems with browsers which do not support vertical layout.

Line 22 ⟶ 24:

=== Issues ===

Currently only Internet Explorer 8 and above, Edge, Firefox 41 and above, and Webkit browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera 15.0+, Android native browser) support rendering the text in top-to-bottom, left-to-right format. Other browsers will render the text as left-to-right, top-to-bottom or don't connect the characters. See also:

* http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-writing-modes/

* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145503

* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/writing-mode

For users of Firefox version 38.0–40.0 and Firefox 38 ESR based browsers, you need to open the <code>about:config</code> page, and set <code>layout.css.vertical-text.enabled</code> as <code>true</code> to enable it.

For MediaWiki issues regarding this: [[bugzilla:9436]]
