Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Landscape example?
Hey Kari, I experimented with landscaping stuff other than single-pages tables in docbook+fo a while back. It works, but there are some limitiations on what you can landscape. IIRC, you can use it to landscape chapters, appendixes, or their direct children. So you couldn't landscape an <example> arbitrarily deep in your doc's xml tree, it would have to be the direct child of a chapter, appendix, or article. I used Ken Holman's psmi stylesheets to post-process the xsl-fo that the docbook xsls create. So at a high level, the process is this: 1. Add some attributes/processing-instructions to your docbook source indicating what should be landscaped (subject to the limitations mentioned above). 2. Customize the docbook xsls to add in some special psmi markup to the xsl-fo that the docbook xsls products. Ken Holman's psmi xsls will use this markup to modify your fo. 3. Modify your build system to run the xsl-fo produced by the docbook customization through Ken's psmi xsls. I've got sample docbook xsls posted: http://sourceware.org/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q4/msg00727.html http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/psmi/ I'd love to see a clever solution that let me landscape arbitrary block elements at any depth in the doc. When I looked into it, it seemed tricky to do tho.
