RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: [QUESTION] landscaped table orientation using XEP?

[David Cramer <dcramer@broadjump.com>]

One more "enhancement". I changed the template to match any child of a chapter, article or book/appendix that has <?landscape?> or orient='land' (however orient='land' is only allowed on tables). This way, if you have a table (or wide programlisting) that you want to landscape in the middle of a chapter, you can at least put it in a section[parent::chapter] or sect1 with the <?landscape?> pi and have the whole section landscaped:

<chapter>
	<title>blah</title>
	Blah de.
	<section>	
		<?landscape?>
		<title>A landscaped section</title>
			....

*[(@orient='land' or ./processing-instruction('landscape')) and (parent::chapter or parent::article or (parent::appendix and ancestor::book))]"

Not great by any means, but it's something for now. I hard coded the landscaped region-body's margin-top and margin-bottom at 1in so that the section heading in the docbook xsl's default setting wouldn't intrude into the footer. That should really be calculated.

Caveat snarfer,
David
