Conversion of documents organized in a tree structure by selective traversal of the structure, uses program invoking templates to convert HTML pages to alternate formats without prior translation to XML

摘要

The document conversion uses templates that contain data on depth of traversal of the tree in the original document, data on selection of the type of tag to which the template can be applied, and a set of actions. A program contains instructions to call template procedures, and traverses the original document to extract information that is presented in a second document. An Independent claim is included for an information architecture.
