Inserting page rotate blocks
A page rotate block is a special content object in Dr.Explain that lets you change the orientation of individual pages in the exported document. Page rotate blocks are useful when a topic contains a wide image, a large table, or any other wide element that does not fit on a portrait page.
Instead of rotating the image or editing the exported file in a third-party editor, wrap the content in a page rotate block. Dr.Explain applies the rotation automatically by placing the content on a page with swapped width and height. Page size can be configured in the PDF and DOCX export settings.
Page rotation only takes effect in printable formats: PDF and DOCX. In other export formats the block has no effect and its content is exported as-is.
