Sensing user input to change attributes of rendered content
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing system to perform a method comprising:
- displaying, on a device comprising a touchscreen, an electronic page comprising first text having a first font size;
in response to sensing two of a user'"'"'s fingers proximate to the touchscreen, opening a window within the first text and between the two fingers, and re-rendering within the window a part of the first text as a second text having a font size that is identical to the first font size of the first text on a part of the electronic page located outside of the window, wherein the second text remains at the font size that is identical to the first font size while the two fingers remain stationary, and wherein a center of the window is positioned on an imaginary line between the two fingers;
in response to sensing motion of the two fingers proximate to the touchscreen, resizing the second text within the window from the first font size to a second font size that is different from the first font size, wherein during the motion of the two fingers the window does not change in size and the center of the window remains positioned on the imaginary line between the two fingers; and
in response to cessation of the motion of the two fingers, closing the window and reformatting the displayed first text, the reformatting comprising resizing the first text to the second font size and repaginating the first text according to the second font size.

Abstract
First content is rendered on a display screen of a computing system according to a first setting for an attribute of the first content. In response to sensing motion proximate to a sensing device, second content is displayed on the display screen according to the first setting for the attribute. The second content is displayed in a window within the first content displayed on the display screen. In response to sensing further motion, the first setting is changed to a second setting, and the second content is displayed in the window according to the second setting for the attribute. In response to sensing cessation of the further motion, the window is closed, the first content is reformatted according to the second setting for the attribute, and at least a portion of the reformatted first content on the display screen.
