Abstract

Claims (80)

1 . A computer implemented method including:

accessing element data defining a set of elements, wherein each element defines text content, each element is associated with a text hierarchy level, and each text hierarchy level is associated with a set of one or more text format attributes;

analysing the element data to determine that a first intra-hierarchy conflict exists, wherein determining that the first intra-hierarchy conflict exists includes:

identifying a first element that defines first text content and is associated with a first text hierarchy level;

identifying a second element that defines second text content and is associated with the first text hierarchy level; and

determining that a font size of the first text content is different to a font size of the second text content; and

resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict by reducing the font size of the first text content or the font size of the second text content.

2 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict includes:

determining that the font size of the first text content is larger than the font size of the second text content; and

setting the font size of the first text content to be equal to the font size of the second text content.

3 . The computer implemented method of claim 2 , further including:

identifying a third element that is associated with the first text hierarchy level and that defines third text content;

determining that a font size of the third text content is different to the font size of the second text content; and

setting the font size of the third text content to be equal to the font size of the second text content.

4 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further including:

analysing the element data to determine that a second intra-hierarchy conflict exists, wherein determining that the second intra-hierarchy exists includes:

identifying a fourth element that defines fourth text content and is associated with a second text hierarchy level;

identifying a fifth element that defines fifth text content and is associated with the second text hierarchy level; and

determining that a font size of the fourth text content is different to a font size of the fifth text content; and

resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict by reducing the font size of the fourth text content or the font size of the fifth text content.

5 . The computer implemented method of claim 4 , wherein resolving the second intra-intra hierarchy conflict includes:

determining that the font size of the fourth text content is larger than the font size of the fifth text content; and

setting the font size of the fourth text content to be equal to the font size of the fifth text content.

6 . A computer implemented method including:

accessing element data defining a set of elements, wherein each element defines text content, each element is associated with a text hierarchy level, and each text hierarchy level is associated with a set of one or more text format attributes;

analysing the element data to determine that a first inter-hierarchy conflict exists with respect to a first text hierarchy level, wherein determining that the first inter-hierarchy conflict exists includes:

identifying a first element that defines first text content and is associated with the first text hierarchy level;

identifying a second element that defines second text content and is associated with a second text hierarchy level, wherein the second text hierarchy level is a lower text hierarchy level than the first text hierarchy level; and

determining that a font size of the second text content is greater than or equal to a font size of the first text content; and

resolving the first inter-hierarchy conflict by setting the font size of the second text content to a first new font size, the first new font size being smaller than the font size of the first text content.

7 . The computer implemented method of claim 6 , further including:

identifying a third element that defines third text content and is associated with the second text hierarchy level; and

setting the font size of the third text content to the first new font size.

8 . The computer implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the first text hierarchy level is a highest text hierarchy level and the second text hierarchy level is a second highest text hierarchy level, and the method further includes:

analysing the element data to determine that a second inter-hierarchy conflict exists with respect to the second text hierarchy level, wherein determining that the second inter-hierarchy conflict exists includes:

identifying a fourth element that defines fourth text content and is associated with a third text hierarchy level, wherein the third text hierarchy level is a lower text hierarchy level than the second text hierarchy level; and

determining that a font size of the fourth text content is greater than or equal to the first new font size; and

resolving the second inter-hierarchy conflict by setting the font size of the fourth text content to a second new font size, the second new font size being smaller than the first new font size.

9 . A computer processing system including:

one or more processing units; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to perform a method including:

accessing element data defining a set of elements, wherein each element defines text content, each element is associated with a text hierarchy level, and each text hierarchy level is associated with a set of one or more text format attributes;

analysing the element data to determine that a first intra-hierarchy conflict exists, wherein determining that the first intra-hierarchy conflict exists includes:

identifying a first element that defines first text content and is associated with a first text hierarchy level;

identifying a second element that defines second text content and is associated with the first text hierarchy level; and

determining that a font size of the first text content is different to a font size of the second text content; and

resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict by reducing the font size of the first text content or the font size of the second text content.

10 . The computer processing system of claim 9 , wherein the method's step of resolving the first intra-hierarchy conflict includes:

determining that the font size of the first text content is larger than the font size of the second text content; and

setting the font size of the first text content to be equal to the font size of the second text content.

11 . The computer processing system of claim 10 , wherein the method further includes:

identifying a third element that is associated with the first text hierarchy level and that defines third text content;

determining that a font size of the third text content is different to the font size of the second text content; and

setting the font size of the third text content to be equal to the font size of the second text content.

12 . The computer processing system of claim 9 , wherein the method further includes:

analysing the element data to determine that a second intra-hierarchy conflict exists, wherein determining that the second intra-hierarchy exists includes:

identifying a fourth element that defines fourth text content and is associated with a second text hierarchy level;

identifying a fifth element that defines fifth text content and is associated with the second text hierarchy level; and
