Abstract

Designing style sheets for structured documents is often a difficult task. In this paper, we discuss the way to support style design through direct manipulation and propose an interactive method of specification by example for editing style sheets. In this approach, style editing actions within a formatted document are generalized into “generic” style specifications and the “generic” style sheet is dynamically updated.An initial implementation of a direct-manipulation editor for structured document style sheet is presented. Based on a structured authoring environment, this prototype provides a comfortable environment for editing style properties as defined in style sheets through the visual representation of any document, without programming the style language.KeywordsPresentation GraphSource DocumentDirect ManipulationStructure DocumentElectronic PublishingThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
