Abstract
A display process is carried out in high speed without changing a structure of a structured document.Within structural information of a structured document, a paragraph-forming element is obtained in which forming of a paragraph is designated in style definition information corresponding thereto. When the display information of the obtained paragraph-forming element is matched, a program for determining a relative layout of the respective display information within the paragraph is performed independent from a layout routine of another paragraph-forming element. Another program for visually outputting such display information of the paragraph-forming element whose layout routine is accomplished is carried out after the layout routines for all of the paragraph-forming elements located up-rank from the current paragraph-forming element have been accomplished.
