Description

The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus having a function of formatting a document.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in Japanese Patent Application No. 59-243920, a heading can be defined in a format, and a part of a character string in a sentence can be typeset as a heading, but the definition relates only to the heading part. There was no definition of how to structure the text that follows.

In addition, in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-31394, the set start of the main text can be temporarily changed by the parameter added in the text, but it has nothing to do with the definition of the headline.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in an actual document, indentation is often made for each heading as shown in FIG. 2 and items are itemized as a whole, and an attempt is made to create such a document. Then, the parameter for the headline and the parameter for this indentation must be added separately in the sentence, and the indentation of the heading and the indentation of the main text are specified separately, so either There was a drawback that when the changes were made, the other changes could not be made at the same time and the operability was poor.

[Means (and Action) for Solving the Problem] In order to solve this problem, the present invention comprises means for defining the beginning of the text following the heading in the definition of the heading of the format.

[Operation] As a result, the indentation of the subsequent text is automatically performed only by specifying the parameter of the headline in the text, and the text can be easily created. Furthermore, there is an effect that the indentation can be easily corrected only by changing the definition of the heading of the format.

Embodiment An embodiment suitable for the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It goes without saying that the character processing device referred to in the present invention may be a system composed of various devices or a device composed of a single device.

FIG. 1 is a system block diagram of a document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is the CR used in the raster scan display method.
A T display unit, 2 is a video RAM (VRAM) that stores display pattern information for one screen, and 3 is a display control unit that controls writing of pattern information to the VRAM 2 and reading of the CRT. Reference numeral 5 is a main memory having an area for storing the control program and text data shown in FIG. 4, and 4 is a microprocessor (MPU) for main control of this apparatus. The MPU 4 is connected to a keyboard 8 for inputting character data and the like, and a pointing device (PD) 9 for inputting and editing graphic data by designating a position on the CRT and the like. A hard disk device 6 stores document files and character fonts therein. Reference numeral 10 is a printer for outputting the created document, and 11 is a floppy disk device for storing the document file and the like. Each of these component blocks is I /
It is connected by O bus 7.

FIG. 3 shows a part of the format definition in the document file, 12 is a part concerning the whole definition, and 13 is a part concerning the definition of the heading. Headings are defined by the number of headings appearing in the document, such as large headings and medium headings.

Next, the process of typesetting the first page will be described along the flow chart of FIG. First, in step 4-1, the character data and the document format are brought into the main memory 5. In 4-2, the set start position of the text is set based on the overall definition of the format. Here 1
Which value is the stage end is the set end. Next, at 4-3, one character of the character data is obtained, and at 4-4, it is checked whether or not the character data has ended. If there is no more character data, then the process ends in 4-5 to check whether the character data is the start parameter of the headline. If it is not the heading start parameter, the typesetting process as the body of the character is performed at 4-6, but at this time, the set start point which is set at that time is used. This group start end is processed at the end of the line in this process, and when entering the process of the next stage, the value of the set start end at that time is set to the line spacing and line width (line length and character point, It is updated by adding (calculated from the character spacing). If it is a heading start parameter in the check of 4-5, heading processing is performed for character data up to the heading end parameter in 4-7, and in 4-8, the beginning of the set of the text after the heading definition format is set. The value at the beginning of the set is reset to the value obtained by adding the value of throat (column width + column interval) × (number of columns to be processed next-1). By this processing, the next time the text is assembled, the beginning of the text will be the value specified in the heading format. When the processing of one page is completed in both the text processing and the heading processing, the typesetting is completed by the check of 4-9.

Through the above process, the text is assembled according to the instruction at the beginning of the text after the definition of the heading of the format.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, if the set start end of the back text is specified in the definition of the heading of the format, the text of the back text can be simply specified by specifying the heading parameter in the sentence. Indentation is automatically performed, and a document as shown in Fig. 2 can be easily created. Further, there is an effect that the indentation can be easily corrected only by changing the heading definition of the format.
