I have numerous tables I want to generate to one pdf however I would like the table orientation to depend on a attribute I provide with the table data. Is there a way of changing the table orientation at runtime? (section of code is listed below, i want it so if outputLandscapeTable template is called then the orientation is changed to landscape )

Thanks

Which version of Stylus Studio are you using?

Using FOP engine 0.20.5 (if that helps)

The orient='land' attribute is not part of the fo:table instruction; it is an argument for the DocBook XSLT processor. Unless you are indeed using DocBook, you should wrap the fo:table in a

<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90">

element (that, unfortunately, FOP 0.20 doesn't support - you will have to select XEP as post-processor to make it work)
Another option is to use the PSMI toolkit (http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/psmi/index.htm) that post process your FO document to generate sequence of different page layouts.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for your help, looked into your suggestions and in the end decided to upgrade to 0.95 FOP engine and as you suggested just used

<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90">

Thanks

Yunus
