Re: [docbook-apps] [SPAM] How to rotate images? - DocBook XSL or FOP problem?

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

I'm surprised that FOP didn't complain about your block-container content. 
An fo:external-graphic is not a valid child of fo:block-container.  It 
should be:

<fo:block-container
  <fo:block
    <fo:external-graphic

I don't know if that will fix this problem, but it might help.

You might be pushing the envelop in FOP with rotated graphics.  As I 
suggested before, if you can't get it to work in FOP, you might need to use 
an image editor to rotate the graphic in the image file itself, so FOP 
doesn't have to deal with it.
