Abstract
A method of presenting information via a user interface of a computer system is disclosed. The method is executed by a book component and a renderer component. The book determines page boundaries for pages in which information is to be presented, and communicates the page boundaries to the renderer. The renderer determines a number of pages, constrained by the page boundaries, required to fully render the information, and communicates the number of pages to the book. Responsive to the book providing an input token representing a prominent element of information on a page, the renderer determines a page number for the page containing the element of information represented by the token, and communicates the page number to the book. Responsive to an event requiring the presentation of a page including a prominent element of information, the book communicates the page number to the renderer. The renderer presents the page in a display area and provides an output token to the book representing a prominent element of information on the presented page.
