An extensible rendering engine for XML and HTML
نویسندگان
چکیده
XML has been proposed in order to bring to the web a markup language free of the shortcomings of HTML, in particular the inextensibility of the set of valid elements (tags). Stylesheet languages have been proposed for XML, in order to provide precise and sophisticated typographical control over the appearance of text-based data. We have developed a rendering engine for HTML and XML documents, providing rudimentary support for typography, but allowing easy extensions (displets) for any kind of data, including non-textual ones, such as math, charts, graphs, etc. Some extensions have already been developed: here we present the one for supporting Z, a notation for formal specifications of software systems.

Can LTEX Profiles be Rendered Adequately with Static CSS? MathJax demonstrates that heavy customization of CSS with JavaScript and webfonts provides good platform-dependent rendering. The issue with MathJax is speed, not quality. There has been and continues to be intense development with CSS. One may speculate that, as CSS continues to evolve, static CSS may entirely suffice not only for HTML ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Workflow Rendering Engine
Business visualization is an effective tool for business decision making and problem solving. Despite its obvious benefits, 3D visualization is far less common in practice than it should be due to the lack of software support. To address this problem, we have developed a workflow rendering engine that facilitates the 3D visualization of business process information for organizational process an...
متن کاملManaging Complex Documents Over the WWW: A Case Study for XML
The use of the WWW as a communication medium for knowledge engineers and software designers is limited by the lack of tools for writing, sharing, and verifying documents written with design notations. For instance, the Z language has a rich set of mathematical characters, and requires graphic-rich boxes and schemas for structuring a specification document. It is difficult to integrate Z specifi...
متن کاملXML Query Support for Web Information Extraction: A Study on HTML Element Depth Distribution
Knowledge-based web information extraction methods can achieve very high precision in restricted domains; they are however slow and suffer from performance degradation beyond their specific domain. We thus plan to adapt an existing XML storage and query engine to act as efficient pre-processor for such methods. The critical point of the approach is the amount of information provided as XML envi...
متن کاملCompression of Semistructured Documents
EGOTHOR is a search engine that indexes the Web and allows us to search the Web documents. Its hit list contains URL and title of the hits, and also some snippet which tries to shortly show a match. The snippet can be almost always assembled by an algorithm that has a full knowledge of the original document (mostly HTML page). It implies that the search engine is required to store the full text...
