Abstract: A computer system conditionally processes a template document to produce one or more finished documents. Annotations in the template document are identified, each annotation indicating an instruction name and a portion of the template document to which the annotation is applied. The template document is processed using one or more structured data feeds that indicate, for each annotation, instructions for transforming the portion of the template document associated with the annotation, wherein the instructions are indicated by the instruction name of the annotation. Finished documents are generated by executing the instructions to transform the template document into each finished document, wherein transforming includes: replacing data in the template document, adding data to the template document, and removing data from the template document.

Abstract: A WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) application that is originally incapable of rendering an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file is converted into a WYSIWYG editor capable of rendering the XML file and manipulating the XML file in a WYSIWYG manner. Upon conversion, the WYSIWYG editor is capable of loading, saving, editing and/or outputting the XML file in a WYSIWYG manner as if the XML file were originally supported by the WYSIWYG application.
