Landscape page orientation with flipped page number

[leovuong]

Description

I'm sorry if this question has been raised before, but it has taken me days already to figure this out

I am aware that the only way to have a horizontal page in quarto is via the landscape div
":::{.landscape}
:::"
but when I did that, the page number position also changed (i.e., to the left-hand side, instead of the bottom of the page)

I was wondering if there is a way to insert a horizontal page without changing the page number location?

P/s: By the way, I am inserting a raw latex table in my quarto document, and have tried a lot of ways that supposedly work for LaTeX to change the page orientation to landscape (e.g., with pdflscape, lscape packages, etc). Is there anyone who has managed to do this with latex in quarto?

Many thanks for your help!

First, I highly suggest you search issues and discussions for "landscape" to find useful resources already discussed.

This being said, if you know your way with LaTeX, you can write raw LaTeX and do whatever you want.
The landscape lua filter is a very simple implementation that cannot match all desired output and has limitations, especially with OpenXML formats (docx).

• https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/markdown-basics.html#raw-content

Other solutions to fit your needs are to create a Lua filter to change landscape how you see fit, use post-render script to process the LaTeX output and compile it (format: latex).

If you don't know your way around LaTeX, there are really good platforms out there focusing on this language and have with no doubt several solutions/workarounds.

As no reproducible example has been provided, no further help can be provided. If you add one, be sure to search the above first. This might save you some time.

The current landscape Lua filter comes from the community and is:

• https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-cli/blob/main/src/resources/filters/quarto-post/landscape.lua

The LaTeX part is as simple as:

• \usepackage{pdflscape}
• \begin{landscape}
• \end{landscape}

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have checked all the issues with "landscape" in it, and I couldn't find a solution that I was looking for.

I tried to manipulate the page orientation with latex raw code chunk using several approaches, such as a lscape, pdflscape, rotating, typearea packages that were specified here [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/337/how-to-change-certain-pages-into-landscape-portrait-mode], but none of them worked.

I'd like to avoid the post-processing approach that you mentioned if it's possible.

Below you can find my minimum reproducible code showcasing one of my attempts to do it with raw Latex content. As my mentioned, only when I used the .landscape div was I able to create a landscape page. Would changing the current landscape Lua filter be an option in my case?
Hope to hear suggestions from you!

Could you properly format your post using code blocks for code and terminal outputs? Thanks.
If your code contains code blocks, you need to enclose it using more backticks, i.e., usually four ````.

Only to manage expectations, this is not a discussion board about LaTeX.
As said before, there are no doubts this issue has been raised before and has solutions or workarounds on platform more specialised like Stack Overflow/Exchange.

I updated it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
