Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method of publishing digital content in a page-based grid format for a device, the method comprising: identifying device attributes; obtaining raw digital content; determining a device-specific font size for the raw content based on the device attributes; determining a column width for page columns within a page grid; determining the number of available column rows within the page grid based on the column width; and, automatically populating the page columns with the digital content to generate a device specific digital publication in a page-based grid format for display on the device.

Abstract: A method is described for publishing digital content in a page-based grid format to a device having a display. A set of content layout templates is served to and stored on the device, as is raw digital content associated with at least one of the templates. When an application is invoked to display the digital content, the device retrieves the at least one of the templates and the raw digital content. Each of the templates includes computer readable instructions for causing the device to: determine a device-specific font size for the raw content; determine a column width for page columns within a page grid; determine the number of available column rows within the page grid based on the column width; and, automatically populate the page columns with the digital content, so that the device is caused by the application to display the digital content in a page-based grid format.
