Abstract: A panel set is defined within a grid area. The grid area enclosing the panel set is then used to tile a sheet. Instead of defining each panel's position within an entire sheet, a single panel set is defined, and then that single panel set is tiled. The definitions for the panel sets may be stored externally from the program using the panel set definitions, thereby allowing definitions to be added more easily as compared to hard-coding the definitions within the program itself. The number of panel sets tiled within a sheet may be determined based on the size of the sheet being printed on. For example, more business cards may be tiled within a legal size sheet as compared to a standard 8.5×11 sheet.

Abstract: The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed to a method for dynamically creating a destination template based on content within a source document. The destination template may be published in a variety of mediums including as a body of an email message, a web site, and a print-friendly document. A portion of content objects within the source document are grouped into content objects based on a relationship between the content objects, such as a physical relationship, a functional relationship, or a combination of both. For each content block, one of several module templates is dynamically selected and arranged to create the destination template. The module templates may be stretchable and designed to render in an email client using HTML.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for mapping content from a first or starting template to a second or target template. An analysis is performed of any content objects and content placeholders contained in the starting and target templates. One or more potential content mappings are generated for potentially mapping content objects from the starting template to the target template. An optimal mapping is selected from the potential mappings, and content objects from the starting template are mapped to the target template according to the selected optimal mapping.
