I am using XML Editor 7.4.1



The document I am working on has some wide tables and I want to try the
option to rotate tables which, I believe, was introduced in the Dita 1.3
specification.

I have tried setting the @orient = “ land“ in the table element but this
does not have any impact on the output.


Does the xmlMind convertor support this attribute?

Sorry but DITA 1.3 new attributes table/@orient and entry/@rotate are currently not supported.

Moreover this limitation is not documented in:

Appendix B. Limitations and implementation specificities
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html

as it should be.




Should I be doing
anything else in order to rotate the table when outputting to pdf?


I'm sorry but I don't see how in practice (e.g. using XSL-FO 1.0 and Apache FOP) this can be achieved.

If the table is just a bit too wide, may attribute scale="80" would help. See http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part2-tech-content/langRef/attributes/displayAttributes.html
