Re: [docbook-apps] landscape appendix

[Ron Catterall <ron@catterall.net>]

Thanks Bob, that works perfectly for an <appendix> in a <book>.  It 
also works for an <appendix> on its own.

***BUT*** it does not work for <appendix> in an <article>, or an 
<appendix> in an <article> within a book.

I presume that <article> must generate its own page-sequence which 
includes any <appendix>.  Is this correct?

For appendices in an article we seem to be stuck with a second pass PSMI.
