Re: rotate text 90 degrees

Thank you for your response....
question... I do not have any experience with XML FO... it appears that XML
FO is just for created documents (ie PDF) not for the web (HTML)... is it
possible to take the XML FO result and put then into a format for the web...
will the formatting still exist (rotated text)...

thanks again
