Description:
Hello,

I have two problems involed in exported ePubs.

1) The text in exported ePub created by selecting reflowable layout, will not be rotated.

2) The text in exported ePub created by selecting fixed layout, will not be viewed at all.

Kind regards.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rotate a text in Writer

Additional information: With option "Layout fixed" ePub shows the text rotated, but in the same line with the unrotated text (I had two paragraphs in my document)

Tested with

Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

and rotated text in a textbox and using Adobe Digital Editions

Fixed layout: Works as expected
Reflowable layout: Text is not rotated. But I think this is more or less in line with LO Help [1]. 

So I would change status to RESOLVED WORKSFORME. Yan, fell free to change it back to NEW, if you can still reproduce it. In this case it would be nice to have a short sample document for ePub export.
