Abstract: A technique is provided which appropriately processes data structured in a markup language. A view template operates using the data included in a document so as to provide a predetermined function. An indicating unit displays the view template available for the user. A reception unit receives an instruction from the user to insert the view template into the document. Upon the reception unit receiving an instruction to insert the view template, an editing unit inserts an element (tag) at a position in the document according to the insertion instruction, which allows the view template to be started up. Furthermore, the editing unit describes parameters etc., in the document, which are necessary for the operation of the view template.

Abstract: A structured document file is created in an efficient manner. A display unit 3122 of a chart unit 3110 displays an XML document file on a screen. A physical event transmitting unit 3118 and a logical event transmitting unit 3120 generate a physical event and a logical event, respectively, in response to an operation of a user. A VC unit 80 receives the events from the chart unit 3110. An event selection unit 3132 selects both or either of the physical event and the logical event as a processing target in reference to a predetermined event selection condition, and a file processor 3136 executes the process in accordance with the selected event.

Abstract: A technology is provided which presents a summary of a document in an easy-to-understand manner. An acquisition unit of a document processing apparatus acquires a document described in a markup language. A condition setting unit sets a condition for display of an outline of a document for each tag set of the markup language. A condition memory unit stores the condition for display thus set. An outline view creating unit reads, when a request for displaying an outline of a document acquired by the acquisition unit is accepted, from the condition memory unit the condition for display corresponding to a tag set included in the document, and creates a display of an outline of the document, based upon the condition.
