Enhancement : using one (or more) landscape page within a portrait document (and the other way around)

[jmtemmos]

This feature would be great when we need to display large arrays or graphs.

Hi @jmtemmos, I was planning on making it possible to apply .pageformat only on specific pages.

@jmtemmos I've been experimenting for the last day and it seems Paged.js offers limited support for configuring the viewbox of specific pages. I'm putting this feature aside for a while and I'll check more in-depth later, but my hopes are quite low unfortunately.

Understood. Maybe a workaround would be cross documents references.
We could have Annex document in landscape mode, main document in portrait mode and the feature to reference figures/tables from the main document to the Annex document. Just an idea.

Another workaround : use a "90° rotated" container and keep a portrait page ?
If tables , text and images are within the rotated container, then no need to change page format....
This feature would be great for report generation where lots of graphs, maps, organigrams are required.....

Using css rotate block trick maybe ?

.landscape
transform: translateX(-100%) translateY(0) rotate(-90deg);
transform-origin: right top;
width: calc(297mm - 35mm);

hi @iamgio , I've managed to do this :

.css
  .landscape {
    transform: translateX(-100%) translateY(0) rotate(-90deg);
    transform-origin: right top;
    width: calc(297mm - 35mm); /* A4 width minus margin */
    height: 210mm; /* A4 height */
    position: relative;
    background: white;
    padding: 20mm;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }

.html
  <div class="landscape">
    This is in landscape mode
    but would be great to be able to use standard quarkdown in this block :) instead of html 
    <img src="media/myimage@653048579.png"  style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
  </div>

Hope it can help :)

Thanks a lot

@jmtemmos .landscape was added. It's still experimental, especially in paged documents, but this should do for now. v1.8.0 will be out today or tomorrow.
