Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for producing documents in a specialized format adapted to aid readability, such as word-recognition and word-processing capabilities. Marked-up documents stored in a repository are created by marking up previously unmarked-up documents according to one or more schemas, to include explicit structural information that corresponds to implicit structural information originally contained in the unmarked-up documents. A user may request a specially formatted document by selecting one of a number of available stored document formats including formatting rules or parameters to be applied to a selected one of the marked-up documents.
