[xep-support]

[Parr, Christopher]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the pointer. The latter is what I want to do, and I did stumble
across your web site before I went home last night. I printed it out and
intended to read it when I got home, but my little 22 month old daughter
decided I wasn't allowed to :)

I'll study it this morning.

Thanks again.

Chris

When I want to do landscaped tables with page flow I use a page geometry 
where the body region is rotated.  Header and footer regions need not be 
rotated.

If you have control over the page geometry that you can start your own 
page-sequence using the rotated page then it is straightforward.

If you want to have your authors *trigger* a rotated table, this is not 
nearly as easy.  To mitigate the situation I created a free formatting 
semantic implemented in XSLT available from the "Free resources" area of 
our web site.  It is called the Page Sequence Master Interleave (PSMI) and 
rotated tables over page boundaries happens the be the exemplar used in the 
documentation.

A Google search on "PSMI XSL-FO" points to a number of posts that I and 
others have made on this.

I hope this helps.
