Extensible stylesheet designs in visual graphic environments
First Claim
1. A method for designing extensible stylesheets in a visual graphic environments, the method comprising:
- providing the graphic user interface environment including at least a first display and a second display;
displaying a source file in the first display, the displayed source file including a plurality of objects;
creating a tree structure in the second display;
associating each of the objects with one of the nodes in the tree structure in the second display by associated meta-tag information; and
creating an stylesheet from the tree structure in accordance with the displayed source file.

Abstract
Techniques for designing stylesheets using meta-tag and/or associated meta-tag information are described. In one embodiment, a graphic user interface environment including at least two displays is provided. One of the displays is from a commonly used browser or an application to display a target file including a plurality of objects and the other display is used to facilitate the editing of a tree structure. Each of the nodes in the tree structure is associated with one of the objects by associated meta-tag information. Based on the tree structure, a source can be generated. Together with the source file, the stylesheet can be designed in accordance with the displayed target file.

12. A method for designing extensible stylesheets in a visual graphic environments, the method comprising:
-
providing the graphic user interface environment including at least a first display and a second display;
displaying a source file in the first display, the displayed source file including a plurality of objects, each being a group of texts, an image, or a sign;
creating an tree structure in the second display;
associating each of the objects with one of the nodes by associated meta-tag information, wherein the one of the nodes is labeled accordingly in the tree structure in the second display whenever one of the objects is identified and associated with the one of the nodes, and the tree structure subsequently shows hierarchical relationships of the objects;
creating an XML file from the tree structure to contain contents respectively representing the objects; and
creating an XSL or XSLT file from the XML file using the associated meta-tag information therein. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
