    Hi,
    There is some guidance for doing landscaped pages in my book:

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

    As you will see, it is not a particularly simple process in XSL-FO 1.0
    because it does not support landscaped elements that flow from page to page.
    You have to either separate your sections into separate page-sequences, or
    use PSMI.

    However, since that section was written, some XSL-FO processors such as
    Antenna House or XEP have added extensions for multi-page landscaped
    elements, but not FOP.
