Rotate Region Body for Landscape Pages

[leeloo5e79-docbook@yahoo.de]

Hello List,

tried to set up a customized page sequence to rotate a region body. This Guide (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html#LandscapePageSequence) was very helpful. So here my customizations:

<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 = 'landscape'">landscape</xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="user.pagemasters">
	<fo:simple-page-master master-name="landscape-first"
                           page-width="{$page.width}"
                           page-height="{$page.height}"
                           margin-top="{$page.margin.top}"
                           margin-bottom="{$page.margin.bottom}"
                           margin-left="{$margin.left.inner}"
                           margin-right="{$page.margin.outer}">
      <xsl:if test="$axf.extensions != 0">
        <xsl:call-template name="axf-page-master-properties">
          <xsl:with-param name="page.master">body-first</xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
      <fo:region-body margin-bottom="{$body.margin.bottom}"
                      margin-top="{$body.margin.top}"
					  reference-orientation="90"
                      column-gap="{$column.gap.body}"
                      column-count="{$column.count.body}">
      </fo:region-body>
      <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before-first"
                        extent="{$region.before.extent}"
                        display-align="before"/>
      <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after-first"
                       extent="{$region.after.extent}"
                       display-align="after"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>

    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="landscape-odd"
                           page-width="{$page.width}"
                           page-height="{$page.height}"
                           margin-top="{$page.margin.top}"
                           margin-bottom="{$page.margin.bottom}"
                           margin-left="{$margin.left.inner}"

                      margin-top="{$body.margin.top}"
					  reference-orientation="90"
                      column-gap="{$column.gap.body}"
                      column-count="{$column.count.body}">
      </fo:region-body>
      <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before-odd"
                        extent="{$region.before.extent}"
                        display-align="before"/>
      <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after-odd"
                       extent="{$region.after.extent}"
                       display-align="after"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>

    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="landscape-even"
                           page-width="{$page.width}"
                           page-height="{$page.height}"
                           margin-top="{$page.margin.top}"
                           margin-bottom="{$page.margin.bottom}"
                           margin-left="{$margin.left.outer}"
                           margin-right="{$page.margin.inner}">
      <xsl:if test="$axf.extensions != 0">
        <xsl:call-template name="axf-page-master-properties">
          <xsl:with-param name="page.master">body-even</xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
      <fo:region-body margin-bottom="{$body.margin.bottom}"
                      margin-top="{$body.margin.top}"
					  reference-orientation="90"
                      column-gap="{$column.gap.body}"					  
                      column-count="{$column.count.body}">
      </fo:region-body>
      <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before-even"
                        extent="{$region.before.extent}"
                        display-align="before"/>
      <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after-even"
                       extent="{$region.after.extent}"
                       display-align="after"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
	
	<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="landscape">
      <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="blank"
                                              blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="landscape-first"
                                              page-position="first"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-odd"
                                              odd-or-even="odd"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference 
                                              odd-or-even="even">
          <xsl:attribute name="master-reference">
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">landscape-even</xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>landscape-odd</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
          </xsl:attribute>
        </fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
      </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    </fo:page-sequence-master>
</xsl:template>

Then I set in my Input-Docbook-XML-File the attribute role to landscape in the appendix tag like this

 <appendix role="landscape">

Next step was to generate output PDF with FOP 0.95 beta under Win and docbook-xsl-1.74.0. Result: Nothing. The appendix and integrated informaltable are still in portrait format. 
What is wrong?

The very simplest way is to set orient=land to informaltable and this will rotate on page but with overfloating the page border ... :-(

 <informaltable orient="land">

Next step is using the PSMI from here http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/psmi/index.htm. This changed last in 2003. Couldn't this included in the Docbook-XSL-Stylesheet?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Best Regards,
Lee
