A shorthanded CSS code for rotating elements inside span or div. {{{1}}} for rotating degree. It does not support IE8 or older browsers. IE8 requires cumbersome calculating of matrix. You may implement it if you know how to translate the formula into parser function.

When using this template to create the rotating effect, editor should consider carefully about the accessibility.

Examples

The rotating happens at the center of the object and its virtual dimension will retain as the original angle after rotating, so you may adjust the position and padding to avoid unwanted overlapping.
