....in some detail along with examples of its use. Section 4 compares PSL to other presentation specification languages and suggests future directions for the language. It is followed by conclusions in Section 5. 2 BACKGROUND While there is long history of research on structured document editors [6,7,8,9], work on presentation specification languages became common only recently. For PSL, the most closely related research is the pioneering work of Quint and Vatton on Grif [7,9] and its presentation schema language, P [10] Grif was the first document system to provide significant support for ....

The syntax of SGML looks as cumbersome and difficult to read as typical WEB. With some SGML viewers and structure editors [2] the user is not even aware that the underlying document is tagged with SGML.

....or code, and placing the tags to ensure a syntactically correct document will also create problems. In addition, if the tagged document is edited with a text editor, then all the visualization information that can be generated from the tags will not be present. Syntax directed editors such as Rita [2], the SoftQuad Author Editor [12] and editors produced by the Cornell Synthesizer [9] could be used to address some of these issues. For example, Rita uses a form of DTD and style sheets to support editing of SGML tagged text. At any point in the document this editor will prompt the user with a ....

Using generic document styles to define and constrain the hierarchical relationships between the different classes of element also has many advantages, but causes significant problems in interactive editing. The recent EP odd paper on Rita [1] provided new insights into the possibilities and problems of editing structured documents. This EPodds and ends sketches some additional problems and suggests alternative solutions based on the idea of fall back classes.

....are enshrined in the international standards SGML [3] and ODA [4] and there is a clear move towards structure in many experimental [5] and production [6] document editors. However, the recent EP odd paper on Rita ( Rita an editor and user interface for manipulating structured documents [1]) breaks new ground by presenting methods to enforce document structure and provide users with help in interactive structure editing. The additional power of structured documents creates two main problem areas for editors . internal structure problems: validating the structure during ....

This idea was used by Glennie [10] by Conway [5] by Kaminger [18] by Lomet [19, 20] as well as by Tixier [26] More recently, the designers of the document editor Rita [6, 8, 7] used this model to more rapidly prototype This research was supported under a grant from the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong SAR.

....definition capabilities have been proposed [25, 26, 36] In fact, some of these models are hybrid models: text structure is defined by a grammar but the text operations may also be applied to text having no explicit grammar. Grammar based approaches are also common for text transformation systems [5, 16, 21, 27, 32, 37, 42]. The purpose of our model is to extend the capabilities offered by context free grammars as schemas. Compared to other approaches, the important and novel feature in our model is that it offers a uniform way for specifying all tasks (a) through (f) listed above. Our model is intended to support ....

LivePage is a text database management system and a browser, and it relies on external editors to do any modification or creation of SGML documents. We chose Rita [4] as our editor for economic reasons, since it is free for us and most SGML editors are very expensive. Rita is not a native SGML editor, since it does not understand DTDs, therefore it is necessary to do a simple translation from a given DTD to its internal equivalent format, thereafter it has no ....

JASMINUM has been used to design user interfaces for a number of software systems including a graph editor [9] and a structured document editor called Waterloo Rita [11]. The design of the Waterloo Rita user interface was compared with an earlier design, and from that comparison, a number of design flaws in the original system were detected. In particular, we observed that the same functionality was achieved with a simpler and more consistent design. These design ....

....[1] system was motivated by the idea of composing applications in the ADV ADO style. A visual formalism for ADVs called ADVcharts has been tested by using them to specify several different software designs and to redesign and reengineer the Rita text editor, an existing interactive software system [17, 37, 10]. In addition, we have shown in [14] and [16] how ADVs can be used to compose complex applications from simpler ones in a style which is similar to some approaches to component oriented software development and megaprogramming [39] Our design approach constructs software system designs using ....
