Abstract
Content can be displayed in different manners on different devices (e.g., having different display sizes) using different layout templates. The techniques discussed herein automatically select a layout template for the content for a particular display device, and transform the content to that layout template for display. Generally, the content is categorized into multiple different categories, and the layout template is also categorized into the same categories. For each of the categories, a mapping of part of the content to a layout element of the layout template is selected. A content display for the layout template is generated by porting (and possibly transforming) the parts of the content into the mapped-to element (as indicated by the selected edges) of the layout. In one or more embodiments, the content display can then be displayed or communicated to another device for display.
