Currently no - although its not hard to implement that (just a bit of trig and an extra logic statement) - I'll do it after the open beta is out.

How does...

<rect start={10%,10%}; rotate=80; />

...for rotated rectangles sound? and

<polyline color={255,0,0};>
    <point position={10%,10%}; />
    <point position={30%, 20%}; color={0,255,0}; />
    ...
</polyline>

...sound for a polyline? (polygons just bein polylines with a a closing line at the end auto-generated)

Edit:
AFAIK, you cant do rotated text without rendering to a texture/surface first, then blitting the texture to the screen - which is OK, but a relitavely HUGE overhead, so I cant promice that I'll do text rotation :/ it'll have to depend on how much it kills performance, sorry!

Sounds good, but yeah the GPU can't rotate text either.
Also, will you be able to make non-convex polygons?

ClickOutput = Vector(ScreenX, ScreenY, Player:EntIndex())

ClickOutput = Vector(ScreenX, ScreenY, Player:EntIndex())

I guess - but then you'd need a vector input to edit elements DOM style on each users screen... ergh, headache

How will if-then's and operators (+, - etc...) work in it?

Edit:
Release now or die a horrible horrible digital death (I kill you in real life so you can't move your digital player around >!!!)

dcvxpipe 3; // This coordinate system makes it rotate around the middle
drotatescale x,y; // X is from 0-360 (Angle), Y is 0 to idk.

Logic statements??? This isnt a programing language, its a markup language! Do your logic in an E2! (edit: oop! or gates, or CPU! - sorry gate fanatics!)

---
Edit: Oop2! Operators are supported in values for -any- property in any tag, so;

<line start={320+sin(#Input)*30, 240+cos(#Input)*30}; end={320,240} />

Is perfectly valid, and will work as expected

dcvxpipe 3; // This coordinate system makes it rotate around the middle
drotatescale x,y; // X is from 0-360 (Angle), Y is 0 to idk.

Funky... *makes a note to look at the GPU code*

*Ahem ahem* Word from BP him self: It's impossible to rotate text.
Spoke with him about GPU a few weeks ago.
You can even see on his hud_fighter that the screen rotates when rolling, but the degree indicators don't.

After playing around with the GPU for a bit, I found an incredibly easy way to rotate text!!
