Re: [docbook-apps] landscape appendix

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

Actually, you don't need to resort to PSMI if you are landscaping and 
entire chapter, appendix, or any other element that generates its own 
page-sequence.  Each page sequence has a page-master that can be defined 
with landscape dimensions if you choose.  You can use the 
'user.pagemasters' template to define a landscape page-master, and 
'select.user.pagemaster' to select it.  See this reference for more 
information:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html

For example, if you define a page-sequence-master with 
master-name="body-landscape", then you can use @role to select it:

<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
  <xsl:param name="element"/>
  <xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
  <xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@role = 'land'">
      <xsl:value-of select="concat($default-pagemaster, '-landscape')"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

The PSMI is needed when you want to landscape only part of a page-sequence, 
typically for long tables.  PSMI breaks one page-sequence into several in a 
post-processing step.
