Hi,
Can I ask what XSL-FO processor you are using?  If it is Antenna House, then 
you can just set the rotation and it will work.  If it is XEP, it won't work 
without also setting the width of the content with the <?dbfo 
rotated-width="xx"?> processing instruction.  XEP will make the table cell (and 
row) too tall of you don't.

And currently FOP 0.94 won't position the rotated text correctly in the cell if 
you don't set the other processing instruction.

So using the rotate attribute may not be sufficient with the current crop of 
processors.

  Subject: [docbook-apps] Table entry orientation in customization layer


  Hi everybody,

  I would like to customize my fo layer on table <entry> in order to use the 
rotate=1 attribute value. I would like the following:

  When:
  <entry rotate="1">text</entry> 
  Have the same behaviour as:
  <entry align="right"><?dbfo orientation="90"?>text</entry>

  But I don't know how to mimic the add of a Processing Instruction.

  By the way I don't know if it is the best solution. I just want to not add a 
Processing Instruction in each of my entries I want rotated. 

  Could anyone give me a hint?

  Thx,
  Regards,
