  • Publication number: 20160070814
    Abstract: A method may include receiving a first input containing a markup language file, an image, and a style sheet file having breakpoints and image display rules for generating image renditions of the image. The method may further comprise displaying a first image rendition based upon the breakpoints and the image, the first image rendition having the first image and crop borders corresponding to the breakpoints. The method may further comprise receiving an input indicating modification of the image rendition, and displaying a second image rendition based upon the modification to the first image rendition. The method may further comprise amending the markup language file with at least one image display rule based upon the second image rendition, the at least one image display rule conforming to the first set of image display rules.

  • Publication number: 20160048605
    Abstract: A system and method involves creating, based upon a set of image rendition parameters, a set of image renditions for an image. A set of previews are selected to display. Each preview includes a markup language file and breakpoints that specify how a particular image rendition from the set of image renditions is displayed. A rendered instance is created for the previews and based upon the particular image rendition and page content. The rendered instances are displayed as part of a user interface. Instructions are received from the user interface. The instructions specify modifications to a particular preview of the set of previews. The markup file is modified based upon the instructions.

  • Publication number: 20150199397
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to managing content item syndication by maintaining referential integrity between isolated systems. A computing device receives a first content item, wherein the first content item has an external dependency with a second content item defined by a first reference. In response to determining that the second content item does not exist on the computing device, the computing device generates a second reference to replace the first reference, wherein the second reference defines a dependency of the first content item to a third content item. The computing device generates a link that directs a user to the third content item in response to the user attempting to access the second content item.
