How to have landscape orientation for certain pages

[selvavm]

I want to convert qmd to docx with headers and footers. Hence, I am using reference-doc. However, I need couple of intermediate pages with landscape orientation.

I came across a filter but this filter does not include header and footer on the landscape pages.

The ooxml provides a means to add header and footer but it needs an Id.

Is there a way to include header and footer on the landscape page or know the Id in the filter?

There are various filter as you found or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16173081/is-there-an-option-to-control-output-page-orientation-using-knitr-pander-pand#16236268.

Usually working with Word is not easy from the command line.
Modifying the LUA filter to work nicely with Word is also not trivial unfortunately.

I don't know enough OpenXML and the reference dock file structure to make the change.

Thanks @mcanouil for responding. It is unfortunate :(

Here is an extension that unifies landscape orientation between docx, pdf and typst. It’s not well tested, but has worked for me: https://github.com/edvinsyk/quarto-landscape

that definitely works! thank you so much, we were almost giving up on typst (due to this & gt tables "indigestion")...this orientation flexibility saves a lot of table-splitting recoding for me

@edvinsyk thanks for sharing!
If not already done, you might want to submit to the two major listings of extensions I'm aware of for discoverability:

• https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-web/tree/main/docs/extensions/listings
• https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-extensions (http://m.canouil.dev/quarto-extensions/)

(None are "official")

I just installed the quarto pre-release 1.6.23 and landscape come out-of-the-box, see: #10581,
else you can use the extension from which it originates edvinsyk/quarto-landscape]

See https://prerelease.quarto.org/docs/authoring/article-layout.html#landscape-mode

(upon release on https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/article-layout.html#landscape-mode)

Makes landscape very convenient to use. Is there a way to put header and page numbers appropriately?
I see header on the right side and page numbers on the left side, instead of top and bottom respectively.
