Pages for iOS 5 Has Special Formats for Chinese/Japanese/Korean

The latest version of iOS Pages, 1.5, which requires iOS 5, provides some CJK-specific text-formatting features, including emphasis styles, list styles, and phonetic guides. For details see this page:

It appears that vertical text is still not supported.

    Lovely! So if you want vertical text, you have to use the mac version but if you want to use furigana you need to use the iOS version. It's getting there.

    Hi Magnus -- I don't think OS X Pages does vertical, only TextEdit.
