Abstract

PURPOSE:To distinguish visually a desired character string easily with its font, by changing the font to display characters in accordance with attributes of characters to be printed. CONSTITUTION:An attribute discriminating part CHA discriminates a font to be selected on a basis of an attribute part CRA of a character receiving register CR by the command of a character analyzing part and opens a longitudinal gate of a font storage means MEM. A character taking-out part CHS of a retrieving part CHC openes a lateral gate corresponding to given characters. Character stuffing part CHE stuffs characters into designated positions of an output buffer BUF in order on a basis of the command of the attribute discriminating part CHA. When characters in the character receiving register CR are all stuffed into the output buffer BUF, the attribute discriminating part CHA rturns the end signal to the character analyzing part. By repeating this operation, the character analyzing part instructs a printing-out part to print out contents of the output buffer.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an editing system, and relates to a method of changing the font of a character and displaying it according to the attribute of the character to be printed.

Conventionally, in the line printer device of the 1tlli translation machine, a method of printing by assigning different fonts according to the attributes of the characters to be printed has not been developed.

The object of the present invention is to print stone characters using a line printer in different writing styles for each character attribute, and this is achieved as follows.

In the print editing method that edits the character code in the print buffer to print on a printing device that can print characters of different fonts, the attribute discrimination part of each character and the code of the different font for each character are registered and nine codes are used. A storage means and a code search section are provided,
The discrimination unit determines the attribute of each character to be printed, and according to this attribute, the search unit extracts the character code to be printed from the code storage means, and sequentially stores the character code in the output buffer. By embedding it, I was able to achieve the above purpose.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a block diagram of an example of a print editing method based on the present invention in which the present invention is applied to a print editing function in a language translator.

In the figure, CR is the character string register, CRA is the attribute part in the character string, and CRM is the character string to be printed.

CHA is an attribute discrimination unit, and MEM is a code storage unit.

CHC is a search section, CH8 is a character extraction section, CHE is a character embedding section, and BUF is a print buffer.

The character receiving register CR is sent from a character analysis section of a translator (not shown). The character string CRMVi is a group of characters to be printed, and the character part CRA is the character string length of the character string CRM, and the embedding position shows the 9 fonts.

It has the embedding position in the output buffer, etc. Further, in the code storage means MEM, characters having the same font are arranged vertically for each character. According to the command from the character analysis section, the attribute discrimination section CHA is set to 2.
The attribute field CRA in the character receiving register CR) determines the font to be selected and opens the vertical gate in the 9-character font storage means MEM. On the other hand, the character extraction unit CH8 in the search unit CHC is the character string CRMt in the character receiving register CR-attribute determination unit C.
A vertical value of 0 or more that extracts one character at a time according to the IA command and opens the gate in the row direction corresponding to the given character.

0 character embedding section CH where the character embedding section CHE prints out the character code stored in the 1 position of both horizontal gates.
E is based on the command from the attribute determination unit CHA.

Embed in order. When all the characters in the character receiving register CR are embedded in the output buffer BUF, the character determining unit CHA returns an end signal to the character analyzing unit. When the output buffer 7 BUF is embedded with one page worth of data from the above practice K, the 1-character analysis section instructs the printing output section (not shown) to print out the output buffer 7. .

As explained above, this invention makes it possible to freely select and print fonts to be printed.

Keywords and variable names in syntax elements can be printed in regular English letters and italics for each sentence being printed by the translator. Furthermore, its range of applications is wide, such as outputting labels in Gothic fonts.

This has a great effect in that the desired character string can be easily distinguished visually by its font.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In the print editing method that edits the character code in the print buffer to print on a printing device that can print characters in different fonts, there is an attribute discrimination section for each character and a code memory that registers the code of a different font for each character. means and a code search section,
The discrimination unit determines the attribute of each character to be printed, and according to this attribute, the search unit extracts the character code to be printed from the code storage means, and sequentially stores the character code in the output buffer. A print editing method characterized by embedding.
