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

[Darya Said-Akbari <darya_akbari@yahoo.com>]

Sorry in my version I have the fo:block. But this was
not the reason. 

I prefer not to use the image editor because I want to
let our people to decide on the fly whether they want
to rotate an image or not.

Going through an image editor is too time consuming.

I am not sure whether it's an FOP problem or whether I
have to do much more in my customization :(

Or is it really just an FOP problem with rotation and
I should give up the idea with a processing
instruction?

Regards,
Darya
