    Actually, you don't need to resort to PSMI if you are landscaping and
    entire chapter, appendix, or any other element that generates its own
    page-sequence. Each page sequence has a page-master that can be defined
    with landscape dimensions if you choose. You can use the
    'user.pagemasters' template to define a landscape page-master, and
    'select.user.pagemaster' to select it. See this reference for more
    information:

    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html

    For example, if you define a page-sequence-master with
    master-name="body-landscape", then you can use @role to select it:

    <xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
    <xsl:param name="element"/>
    <xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
    <xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>

    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@role = 'land'">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat($default-pagemaster, '-landscape')"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

    The PSMI is needed when you want to landscape only part of a page-sequence,
    typically for long tables. PSMI breaks one page-sequence into several in a
    post-processing step.

    Thanks Bob, that works perfectly for an <appendix> in a <book>. It
    also works for an <appendix> on its own.

    ***BUT*** it does not work for <appendix> in an
    , or an
    <appendix> in an
    within a book.

    I presume that
    must generate its own page-sequence which
    includes any <appendix>. Is this correct?

    For appendices in an article we seem to be stuck with a second pass PSMI.
