Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to creating and using deltas to modify existing computer code. In aspects, computer code may be translated into a higher level language to make it easier for a software developer to modify the computer code. The translated computer code may be presented by an editing tool that presents a user interface that allows changes to be made to the translated computer code. A delta engine may then determine a delta that indicates the changes to perform on the existing computer code to create computer code that would result from compiling the translated computer code as changed via the editing tool. Later, this delta may be used to change the existing computer code after it has been loaded to add or change debugging hooks or other features of the computer code.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for customizable schema-guided conversion of plain-text documents, rich-text documents and textual data records to an XML-compatible structured form. The method makes substantial use of element content model definitions from a chosen target XML schema/DTD to optimize, closely guide, and disambiguate element pattern matching and recognition. Highly granular structure can be inferred, in best possible conformance with the schema. One embodiment operates based on a finite state machine derived via recursive aggregation of the schema element content models. Additionally disclosed is a method for automated document structuring within the environment of an XML-enabled wordprocessor application. The method entails using the host's API to perform element pattern search and matching and to apply markup to the document in accordance with the inferred XML structure.
