Abstract
Disclosed is a markup system and method for converting text-based guidelines into a form that allows manipulation and viewing in different formats and detail. The system identifies conditions described in electronic documents and uses an interactive or rule-based processor to annotate (or tag) the text with the symbols and vocabulary of a hypertext markup language. Any electronic document, text-based or having a mix of graphics, audio, video, and/or pre-defined hypertext in addition to text, containing statements, indices, variables, decision points, and recommendations is adaptable for use with this system. The annotated text may be provided to others over a network for application. The annotated text may also be parsed by a validation engine to check it against the original to see that the logic and sentence structure has not been damaged.
