 * Hi,
 * I thought I’d try rotating the header text. I’ve looked through some of the previous
   topics on the subject and tried copying/pasting the CSS that has been suggested,
   but I can’t get any rotation at all. I’m trying things like:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-5 .row-1 span {
       	-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
       	-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
       	-ms-transform: rotate(-90deg);
       	-o-transform: rotate(-90deg);
       	transform: rotate(-90deg);
       	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
       	display: block;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m not pretending to understand some of the CSS but if I could at least see 
   some rotation I’d be able to experiment and learn a bit more.
 * I saw reference in one topic to using transform-origin instead of transform.
 * Any tips appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not where exactly you found this code, but from what I can see, it needs 
   a bit of extra HTML code:
    The text in the header cells has to be wrapped in 
   HTML `<span>` tags, like `<span>header cell text</span>`. Note that your header
   cells might still have too much content for this to look nice.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks. Yes, I see what you mean, the titles do look pretty untidy. Interesting
   to try new things out though!
