Hello, On October 1, 2010 Mojca asked about inserting a rotated page content (landscape) in an otherwise portrait document, keeping the headers and footers upright. The suggested solution was essentially \rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage [width=\textheight,height=\textwidth] ... \stopTEXpage} I would like to place a wide table rotated as above, keeping the page headers and footers upright. In other words, I would like to do something like \startplacetable [location=page,orientation=90,title=Table caption] ... \stopplacetable That is, rotate the table contents *and its caption*, but not the page header and footer. Note that the following will indeed rotate the contents but not the caption. \startplacetable [title=Table caption] \rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage} \stopplacetable Alan

Hello,

I would like to place a wide table rotated as above, keeping the page headers and footers upright. In other words, I would like to do something like \startplacetable [location=page,orientation=90,title=Table caption] ... \stopplacetable That is, rotate the table contents *and its caption*, but not the page header and footer.

Note that the following will indeed rotate the contents but not the caption. \startplacetable [title=Table caption] \rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage} \stopplacetable

\startplacetable[location={page,90},title=Table caption] … \stopplacetable Wolfgang

Thank you Wolfgang! I find it necessary to do the following: \startplacetable [location={page,90},title=Table caption] \startTEXpage [width=\textheight] … \stopTEXpage \stopplacetable The \startTEXpage [width=\textheight] … \stopTEXpage is necessary in order to get the content (table macros: \bTABLE \eTABLE) to work correctly. I had thought that it would have made sense to use "width=\textheight" with \startplacetable, but this did not work. Alan

This is nonsense because \startTEXpage … \stopTEXpage is supposed to create a standalone page on your document where you can control the width/height of the page. It’s hard to tell why you need this without a example but you can try to force the table width with \bTABLE[textwidth=\textheight]. Wolfgang

It seemed to me to be a strange use of TEXpage, but I was just following your own suggestion of Fri, 01 Oct 2010 09:13:39, see, http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg49606.html so nonsense indeed! :)

Indeed, this is the proper solution (and gives a better result). I had tried "width=\textheight" but this set the width of *all* columns to \textheight! Thanks again!
