ATP's Display Formatting
controls allow the user to define styles for groups
of elements—generally a parent element and its
children—and for each individual element type
in the group. Group styles support inline concatenation
and the wrapping of blocks of text which is basic to
interlinear formatting. The upper grid manages the group
definitions while the lower grid manages display definitions
for the indiviudal elements within each group.
The element-style grid allows the user
to define the font, font size and style, and background
and foreground colors, of an element, and to set the
minimum space between successor elements.
The user can also use these tools to
change the order of display of elements from the storage
order defined in the underlying data schema created
on the Metadata Schema page. Thus, for example, the
display style in the example changes the order of appearance
of the Gloss element from the second line as mandated
in the document schema to the fourth line. The examples
shown on the tour pages discussing the document-interface
both use this display model—the Gloss follows
the Morphemes and Morphemeglosses even though the underlying
ATP document stores that information in the order defined
in the project model. In fact the user can use these
tools to choose a subset of elements or field to process
in an active session thereby making active document
processing more convenient.
