Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0108002A2] The first process provides a context sensitive editor to create, modify and display hierarchically structured control information. The editor provides action choices appropriate to the immediately current context, thereby simplifying the manipulation protocol of the user. Because the editor understands the relationships and multiplicity between the contexts, its editor and display represents the repetition and conditionality of the blocks without resorting to a scripting language. The editor displays the control information according to the display rules of the associated context. The presentation clearly differentiates between the bulk text, the structure in which the text resides, and parameterized elements. The editor effectively manipulates what is meta control information in a way that displays it as information. The second process provides a method to systematically transform the control information into a machine-understandable format, such as code generator script data.
