Abstract
A document retaining section retains a structured document in which a logical structure and a layout structure are correlated with each other by using embedding nodes each being inserted between a unit logical node and a logical node immediately above the unit logical node and representing a corresponding relationship between the unit logical node and a unit layout node, and mold nodes provided in place of respective unit layout nodes. A document processing section is capable of processing a partial logical structure of the document retained by the document retaining section together with a partial layout structure corresponding to the partial logical structure.
Claims4
A document processing apparatus for processing a structured document, comprising:
- document retaining means for retaining a structured document in which embedding nodes and mold nodes correlate a logical structure and a layout structure of the document with each other, the embedding nodes being inserted between each unit logical node and a logical node immediately above the unit logical node and representing a correspondence between the unit logical node and a unit layout node, and the mold nodes provided in place of respective unit layout nodes;
- and
- document processing means capable of processing a partial logical structure of the document retained by the document retaining means together with a partial layout structure corresponding to the partial logical structure.
