CSS Text Rotation
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 10:01 pm
Oxygen doesn't appear to support the CSS3 "transform" attribute. The latest versions of the big web browsers recently supported it as a custom attribute, such as "-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg)". Would such a feature be a candidate for a home-grown (Java) renderer that honors your Java rendering interfaces? It would be used for DITA table entries. Some table header cells use text rotated at 90 degrees. We did this for our FO PDF rendering pipeline on our server, and we were wondering how difficult it would be to do in-house work to provide this in Oxygen. We use an outputclass="rotate" to trigger this in our publishing pipeline.
From my reading of the API, it looks like the hooks are there. Would the table row resize appropriately? It also looks like there are separate interfaces for editing and rendering. Would we create a custom CSS function for this?
