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

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.

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].

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!
