We could of course just do:
lua Code:
function vertical(str) -- Dealing with multi-byte? local _, len = str:gsub("[^\128-\193]", "") -- nah... if(len == #str) then return str:gsub(".", "%1\n") else return str:gsub("([%z\1-\127\194-\244][\128-\191]*)", "%1\n" end end

And once again this proves haste > all. (nah I just suck when it comes to string modification :P) My solution was a hack indeed
