Viewing system that supports multiple electronic document types
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a plurality of interactive electronic technical manual types from a display system, comprising the steps of:
- a. linking the display system with a discrete pluggable interpreter responsive to interactive electronic technical manual type;
b. receiving at the interpreter at least one electronic document of an interactive electronic technical manual, said electronic document passing a variable to be interpreted;
c. interpreting the received electronic document, said interpreter providing at least one semantic node for said electronic document type and at least one symbol table for defining a program state and interpreter state that are combined to form display data; and
d. outputting display data that is renderable by the display device.

Abstract
A method of interpreting electronic documents, e.g., an interactive technical manual, provides an interpreter responsive to at least one global navigational input data of a client user in order to generate a displayable output. The displayable output is generated from informational input and a contextual status. The method of interpretation includes a base semantics module and any number of extended semantics modules, a symbol table, and an output module. A plurality of global navigational data are received at the interpreter, which associates and processes the informational data received with the contextual status and outputs displayable data which is renderable by the display system into a current view. A system and computer medium are also disclosed.
