Re: [docbook-apps] How to rotate figure in FO

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Tomas,
Indeed, the only support in DocBook XSL for rotated anything is for Cals
tables with an orient="land" attribute, and table cells with that processing
instruction.  Rotating figures would make a fine feature request.  8^)

The early XSL-FO processors didn't support fo:block-container very well
(that's how you rotate a block), but it is well supported now (except in FOP
0.20.5).

The figure element doesn't have an attribute to specify an orientation.
Perhaps it should.  You could use a PI, or perhaps use the floatstyle
attribute with a customization.

One issue might be whether someone wants the figure title rotated with the
figure.  I think some would want that, but others might not?
