Generating editable email components utilizing a constraint-based knowledge representation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an HTML email file comprising HTML fragments generated utilizing a first email editing application;
• and
• generating editable email components from the HTML fragments by a second email editing application incompatible with the first email editing application utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model by:
• extracting facts for the ASP model from the HTML email file;
• determining rows or columns defining cells of the HTML email file utilizing ASP hard constraints defined by a first set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts;
• determining editable email component classes for the HTML fragments utilizing ASP soft constraints defined by ASP classification weights and a second set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts;
• and
• generating the editable email components from the rows or columns defining the cells of the HTML email file and from the editable email component classes for the HTML fragment.

A system comprising:

• one or more memory components;
• and
• one or more processing devices coupled to the one or more memory components, the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a hypertext markup language (HTML) email file comprising HTML fragments generated utilizing a first email editing application;
• and
• generating editable email components from the HTML fragments for editing by a second email editing application incompatible with the first email editing application utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model by:
• extracting facts for the ASP model from the HTML email file;
• determining rows or columns defining cells of the HTML email file utilizing ASP hard constraints defined by a first set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts;
• determining editable email component classes for the HTML fragments utilizing ASP soft constraints defined by ASP classification weights and a second set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts;
• and
• generating the editable email components from the rows or columns defining the cells of the HTML email file and from the editable email component classes for the HTML fragments.
