Abstract: A method of preserving a content model of an element during a transformation from a structured document that describes the content model of the element into a computer program includes inputting the structured document into a transformation processor. The method continues with the transformation processor parsing the element into a group of fundamental constructs. The method also includes the transformation processor converting each of the fundamental constructs to a plurality of computer program objects and a content model descriptor that corresponds to each of the computer program objects. The content model descriptor includes the information included in the content model of the element.

Abstract: A digital printing press system for variable data printing (VDP) includes a front end and a press. The front end processes a static template and transmits the processed static template to the press. The press merges variable data processed subsequently by the front end with the static template to produce a desired stream of customized documents. A method of operating a digital printing press system for variable data printing (VDP) includes processing a static template with a front end of the press system; transmitting the processed static template to a press of the press system; and, on the press, merging variable data processed subsequently by the front end with the static template to produce a desired stream of customized documents.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided to format a content item into a predefined markup format. For example, the various embodiments provide for the transformation of a content item embodied in a text file into a discriminate markup file such as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file that includes metadata such as tags that differentiate among the various content element in the content item.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, and programs stored in a computer-readable medium to perform a transformation are provided. In one embodiment, a transformation method is provided that comprises the steps of providing a transformation processor, providing a prototype transform and an interpretive transform, and, transforming at least one source document into an output document with the transformation processor by interpreting a number of interpreted instructions in the prototype transform with a number of interpretive instructions from the interpretive transform.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are described for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) from a template. In one embodiment, a system is provided that comprises a processor circuit having a processor and a memory. Stored on the memory and executable by the processor is GUI generation logic. The GUI generation logic includes logic to generate an input field in the graphical user interface that is associated with an input item in a template. The GUI generation logic also includes logic to generate an input field label in the graphical user interface from an input field tag in the template, wherein the input field tag is associated with the input item.
