  • Patent number: 10482165
    Abstract: In one example, a document rendering device may reorder a cascade level for a style property of a style sheet to maintain cohesion across multiple document components of a document. The document rendering device may store a style sheet describing rendering of a structured document having a nominal cascade level indicating a sheet hierarchy for the style sheet to resolve conflicts with style properties in other style sheets. The document rendering device may set a group cascade level for a property group describing a set of multiple style properties in the style sheet so that the group cascade level is different than the nominal cascade level. The document rendering device may render a document component of the structured document for display based on the property group at the group cascade level.

  • Patent number: 10372795
    Abstract: In one example, a document rendering device may create a document from a document tree by determining whether a style property of a source node of the document tree may be applied to a target node of that document tree. The document rendering device may store a document tree having multiple nodes describing a document having component arranged hierarchically in a parent-child relationship. The document rendering device may identify a styling permission describing whether a target node representing a child component of the document tree permits application of a style property to the target node. The document rendering device may execute an inheritance determination for the target node based on the styling permission to determine whether the target node inherits the style property from a source node representing a parent component. The document rendering device may render the target node based on the inheritance determination to create a document component of the document.

  • Patent number: 10055388
    Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a mechanism is provided for web developers to request specific default behaviors, such as touch behaviors, on their webpages. In at least some implementations, a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rule is utilized to enable or disable manipulations such as panning, pinch zoom, and double-tap-zoom manipulations. The mechanism can be extensible to accommodate additional default behaviors that are added in the future. In various embodiments, the behaviors are declared up front and thus differ from solutions which employ an imperative model. The declarative nature of this approach allows achievement of full independence from the main thread and deciding the correct response using independent hit testing.

  • Publication number: 20150261730
    Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a mechanism is provided for web developers to request specific default behaviors, such as touch behaviors, on their webpages. In at least some implementations, a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rule is utilized to enable or disable manipulations such as panning, pinch zoom, and double-tap-zoom manipulations. The mechanism can be extensible to accommodate additional default behaviors that are added in the future. In various embodiments, the behaviors are declared upfront and thus differ from solutions which employ an imperative model. The declarative nature of this approach allows achievement of full independence from the main thread and deciding the correct response using independent hit testing.
