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

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

After having done some research I agree with Bob
Stayton that this is an FOP (trunk) problem.

Hence I give up the idea to do the rotation through a
processing  instruction :(

Thanks,
Darya
