Abstract
The object of the present invention is to render markup documents within the limits of resolutions smaller than the resolutions for which the markup documents were originally designed, in most cases without introducing horizontal scrolling, while keeping the original fonts, colors, design, and style. The object is achieved by finding and selecting elements whose content takes up too much space horizontally, determining appropriate widths for rendering such elements, and shrinking or horizontally squeezing such elements individually to fit within their respective determined widths. Further, the invention determines the widths for rendering table cells in such manner as to preserve the layout of the corresponding table.
