In-Context Editing of Output Presentations via Automatic Pattern Detection

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for in-context editing of websites and other output presentations via automatic pattern detection. One embodiment involves an editor application receiving an output presentation. The output presentation is generated based on at least one source element from at least one source file. The editor application identifies at least one pattern among multiple output elements in the output presentation. The at least one pattern corresponds to the at least one source element. The editor application determines a modification to the source element corresponding to a modification to at least one of the output elements. The modification to the source element is determined based on identifying the at least one pattern. The editor application applies the corresponding modification to the at least one source element responsive to receiving the modification to the at least one output elements.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an editor application executed by a processing device, an output presentation, the output presentation generated based on at least one source element from at least one source file; identifying, by the editor application, at least one pattern among a plurality of output elements in the output presentation, wherein the at least one pattern corresponds to the at least one source element; receiving, by the editor application, a modification to at least one of the plurality of output elements based on identifying the at least one pattern, determining, by the editor application, a corresponding modification to the at least one source element that corresponds to the modification to at least one of the plurality of output elements; and responsive to receiving the modification to the at least one of the plurality of output elements, applying, by the editor application, the corresponding modification to the at least one source element.
