Abstract
Navigating on a display includes tracking motion of an input tool on a display, comparing a motion of the input tool to a threshold, and changing a position of the visible portion of a page of information on the display if the input tool motion exceeds the threshold. The position of the visible portion of the page of information on the display is constrained if the motion does not exceed the threshold.

A method comprising:
- identifying content to be displayed within a display window associated with a computing device, wherein the content comprises a plurality of portions;
- identifying, using at least one processor, format coding for the content, wherein the format coding defines a topology of the plurality of portions of the content;
- and
- reformatting, using the at least one processor, the content for display within the display window, wherein reformatting the content comprises:
- reducing a size of a first portion of the content from the plurality of portions of the content,
- increasing a size of a second portion of the content from the plurality of portions of the content, and
- maintaining the topology of the plurality of portions of the content.
