Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to document processing using a computer.In particular, the present invention relates to a document processing device and a document processing method for displaying and editing documents. Although document processing has rapidly become popular with the invention of Japanese word processors, WYSIW displays the printed image of a document on the screen and edits the document while checking the printed image.
YG(What you see is whatyo
Although the u get, ) method is the mainstream, this method is suitable for creating documents with elaborate layouts that allow characters and figures within the document to be placed freely on the paper. In addition, it has the characteristic that even beginners can easily understand the print image because it is easy to check the printed image. However, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to create a predetermined document format along with the content to be described in the document. Although the document creation method that creates only the logical structure and document content using ``TeX'' developed at Stanford University in the United States and troff developed at the Be1l Institute is attracting attention, it is possible to automate the layout of the document. (Above: After creating a document using a normal text editor, insert titles, headings, etc. in the form of string commands.) An example of a document with string commands inserted in this way is shown in Figure 6. As shown in Figure 2, document readability is extremely low (even
Therefore, there are document processing devices that use special pictographs to express logical structures instead of character string commands.

An example of the above-mentioned conventional document processing device will be explained below with reference to the drawings. 52 is a delimiter detecting unit, 53 is a character string content detection unit, 54 is a character string delimiter display unit, 55 is a character string display unit, and 56 is a screen.

Detects character strings that are separated by ``('' or ``\'''' and spaces.

Next, by inputting the character string delimiter detected by the delimiter detection unit 52, the character string delimiter display unit 54 displays pictograms corresponding to the content of the character string detected by the character string content detection unit 53 on the screen 5.
The character string display section 55 then displays the corresponding character strings on the screen 56. FIG. 7 shows an example of the screen 56 displayed as described above. In FIG. 7, 71 is the character string delimiter display section 5.
Problems that the invention aims to solve with the pictograms displayed in 4.The method of separating character strings using special pictograms like this
In addition to making it difficult to see the delimitation structure of the entire document at a glance, there were also problems with the readability of the document content itself due to the mixture of characters and pictograms.The present invention takes this into account, and provides a document processing device and document that can easily identify the boundaries of a logical structure. An object of the present invention is to provide a processing method, a delimiter detecting section for detecting delimiters in a character string, and a delimiter detecting section for detecting a delimiter in a character string. A character string display part that takes as input the delimiter of the character string detected by the delimiter and displays the character string; and a line spacing separator identifier display section that divides columns and displays line spacing separator identifiers, and the character string display section that inputs the string break detected by the break detecting section instead of the line spacing separator identifier display section.
