I am generating documents for students who visit a course. I have created an application in mendix and used the document template function for the generating of the documtens. I need to generate name tags, certificates, greeting screens, and so on for each student. On the name tag I need to rotate some text.
The problem is that when mendix is generating the document it uses fo:table-cell and in that fo:block. From what I know "reference-orientation" doesn't work on both of them, I also tried but it just ignored the reference-orienation setting. As I said I cannot alter the way mendix creates documents and just include a fo:block-container or so.
So my question is if there was a way to rotate either fo:table-cell or fo:block? I searched long on the mendix forum and on the internet but it doesn't look very promising. Did someone already do it perhaps or knows how I could solve this? Would be very appreciated.
Thanks
