Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business by adapting audio renderings of non-audio messages (for example, e-mail messages that are processed by a text-to-speech translator) to reflect various nuances of the non-audio information. Audio cues are provided for this purpose, which are sounds that are “mixed” in with the audio rendering as a separate (background) audio stream. Audio cues may reflect information such as the topical structure of a text file, or changes in paragraphs. Or, audio cues may be used to signal nuances such as changes in the color or font of the source text. Audio cues may also be advantageously used to reflect information about the translation process with which the audio rendering of a text file was created, such as using varying background tones to convey the degree of certainty in the accuracy of translating text to audio using a text-to-speech translation system, or of translating audio to text using a voice recognition system, or of translating between languages, and so forth. Stylesheets, such as those encoded in the Extensible Stylesheet Language (“XSL”), may optionally be used to customize the audio cues. For example, a user-specific stylesheet customization may be performed to override system-wide default audio cues for a particular user, enabling her to hear a different background sound for messages on a particular topic than other users will hear.

Mapping of a first native data type instance to a second native data type instance is performed in three stages: the first native data type instance is converted into a first programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a first schema capable of defining base and derived data types; the first programming language and platform independent representation is transformed into a second programming language and platform independent representation conforming to a second schema capable of defining base and derived data types; and the second programming language and platform independent representation is converted into the second native data type instance. The programming language and platform independent representations may be event-based extensible Markup Language (XML) representations implemented according to the Simple API for XML (SAX). The transformation may be governed by an extensible Stylesheet Language Transform (XSLT) stylesheet.

Systems and methods are provided for style sheet language coding that maintains a desired relationship between display elements. An authoring tool receives a desired attribute for a first display element, and the authoring tool generates style sheet language code for defining attributes of at least one other display element to maintain a predefined relationship between the display elements. Accordingly, as a developer defines (e.g., creates, modifies, etc.) attributes for one of the display elements, the authoring tool autonomously updates the style sheet language code to define the attributes of the other display elements to maintain the predefined relationship therebetween. In certain embodiments, the authoring tool provides an interface that enables a developer to directly define certain attributes of a display element, wherein the authoring tool generates style sheet language code to indirectly define the attributes in a manner that reflects the developer's direct definition thereof.

The present invention provides copybook flat data conversion with inline transformation. Specifically, a streaming intermediary formatted data message is generated as a result of converting / transforming a flat file format (non-XML (Extensible Markup Language) format), such as raw fixed-length field COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) copybook format or the like. The streaming intermediary format is not fully held in memory, but rather is directly transformed / converted, using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) processing, into a target format, such as structured XML or the like. By directly streaming the intermediary format to the XSLT process without holding the entire data message in memory, the present invention utilizes less memory and, as such, less memory is needed to be reclaimed.

The invention includes a label tree action and a generate reference action function. The label tree action can execute a first time a copy of an XML tree is made (or when an XML tree is analyzed and determined not to contain id_attributes). The add id_attribute can add an id_attribute for each element of the XML tree that does not already have an associated id_attribute. This attribute can be set to a value returned by an XSLT generate-id( ) function. The generate reference action can deliver a string that will be used to refer to a given element. When an id_attribute for the given element is present within the XML tree, the generate reference action can return a value of the id_attribute. When no id_attribute is present for the given element, the generate reference action can return a value of the XSLT generate-id( ) function for the element.

Furthermore, the method obtains a signing position of the PDF file according to the signing tag and inserts an electronic signature into the PDF file according to the signing position.

The present invention provides an automated solution for generating a question document and an answer document from a database of questions and answers. The solution utilizes an extensible markup language to define the database. The database is then converted into a first Document Object Model (DOM) tree. The first DOM tree may then be used in prompting a user to enter the number of questions from each section to be generated. Once this input is received, nodes from the first DOM tree are randomly selected using the data received from the input. These randomly selected nodes are then used to create a second DOM tree representing the quiz or test. This second DOM tree may then be converted to a readable or printable format using a transformation, such as an stylesheet language transformation.

A method for partitioning Web pages of a Web site into graphic elements and technical elements to enable efficient updating of the Web site. Graphic elements of a Web page are defined and a plurality of technical page element sets for respectively formatting the Web page in accordance with the technical page element sets are defined. The graphic elements of the Web page are converted into a stylesheet using a content-to-stylesheet generator. The Web page is then processed using the stylesheet in accordance with one of the technical page element sets to obtain a formatted Web page in accordance with the one technical page element set. The stylesheet can be compatible with a version of XSL (extensible stylesheet language). The formatted Web page is subsequently provided to a user via a server application. Efficient updating of the Web site is enabled by partitioning the graphic design elements, which define a look and feel for the Web page, from the technical page elements, which define the technical reliability of the software objects, scripts, macros, and the like. The partitioning allows the graphic design elements and the technical elements to be changed and updated more independently.
