Question

Rotating graphics in FO and Epic

We're still playing (sic) with the 40051-2A (style sheets for the -1A electronic TMs are a later task) style sheets.

What we're having a problem with is getting a graphic to rotate if it is too wide to fit in portrait mode. We're not trying to rotate the page set, just the graphic.

One potential problem we've had is that the 40051 DTD dropped the 'rotation' attribute from <graphic> in late 2003. We've reinstated it for testing but it still not recognized by the FO.

Anyone who isn't still overly stuffed from Thanksgiving have any words of wisdom?

Thanks

Lynn

    That's the one. I totally agree. Having all the splinters is the wrong
    direction.

    I really hate to post this for various possible reasons, but it is SO FUNNY.
    I went to the website and their archive does not go back that far, so here
    goes (I HOPE).

    I have an "SGML or DIE" button. I wonder where I put that thing.

    Upon closer examination, my "SGML AT WORK" pin has an old, small, trapezoidal Arbortext tree logo on it. Hmmm.

    Yeah I didn't think a pin was ever issued for my book, but I didn't know
    what the publisher was up to on all fronts. Also the book had such a short
    shelf life. I think I have the honor of being the last book published on
    SGML as it came out during the hayday of XML and all the books that were
    pushed out at that time. My book didn't hit the shelf until the summer
    after XML was released. Talk about timing! 😉

    Dan,

    It may please you to know that I do have a copy of your book. So it wasn't
    all a waste. 😄

    thanks, Over the last few years I have run into people that knew of the
    book and actually used it; I'll add you to the list of those I'm aware of.

    Dan,

    You'll be pleased to know Amazon still shows two NEW copies of your book available (at $53.90) and 7 used copies (starting at $2.49).

    AbeBooks has 10 copies listed, ranging from $2.49 to $60.92.

    There's a copy here on my bookshelf as well... we hung in with SGML until about 2002.

    Cheers,

    David

    Yeah I check Amazon every now and then as well. Problem is the book went
    into the liquidation market within about 2 years. I see nothing from any
    of these sales. I've seen some places ask for almost twice the cover
    price. Don't know if they actually get sold at that price, but it is
    amazong how this process works.
