Abstract
The invention provides a layout-rule generation system suitable for reflecting the layout of an existing document to the result of automatic layout. A layout unit can generate a layout rule on the basis of the positional relationship of at least two of multiple split regions in an electronic document and generate a layout template on the basis of the electronic document and register the generated template in a template registration DB in association with the generated layout rule. The layout unit can select layout elements from a layout-element registration DB and arranges the selected layout elements in the layout region according to the layout rule and the layout template generated for the same electronic document.
