Abstract

See full text

A method for interactively formatting a document while the user types. The method includes analyzing characters typed by the user to detect predefined characters or contiguous strings of characters. If such predefined characters are detected, then applying autoformat rules dependent on the predefined characters, and their proximity to other predefined characters. The evaluation of the autoformat rules can generate formatting edits that are automatically applied to the document as the user types.
