Every native plugin at TRMNL requires 4x layouts. Thus we maintain 400 frontend markups per 100 plugins, which doesn't include logic within each view impacts markup further based on user preferences.
As such, we've decided (for now) to not natively support portrait mode.
However! You can absolutely build and publish plugins that do offer portrait orientation.
Setting up portrait mode
First, build a plugin. This can be a Recipe, private plugin, or third party instance. Learn more about each type here.
Next, inside your markup, simply add the transform CSS declaration like so:
transform: rotate(90deg);
Here's some working sample code:
<style>
div#content {
transform: rotate(270deg);
}
</style>
<div id="content" class="markdown gap--xsmall">
<span class="title">First Time Around</span>
<div style="width: 390px;">
<p><i><b>First Time Around</b></i> is a one-disk DVD by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings recorded in 2006 at CBC Studios in Toronto, Canada, by CBC.
