DEFINING LAYOUT FILES BY MARKUP LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS

摘要

In a computer system for displaying a content page (250) on first and second computers (901, 902), layouts are defined in a first layout file (251) and a second layout file (252). The first and second layout files (251, 252) each are provided by a parser that reads a first markup language document and a second markup language document, respectively. Each markup language document has a first entity and a second entity in that instructions define portions of the respective layout file (251/252) by predefined information added to the respective layout file (251/252) and by parameterized values also added to the respective layout file (251/252). The parameterized values are valid for both the first entity and the second entity.
