The intermediate data structure is held in the intermediate data structure holding unit. In document processing, an intermediate data altering unit alters the intermediate data structure held in the intermediate data structure holding unit, on the basis of the content of a particular document to be laid out and the information about the manipulation which is included in the intermediate data structure itself held in the intermediate data structure holding unit. A specific layout structure extracting unit extracts a layout structure corresponding to the particular document to be laid out, from a newest intermediate data structure held in the intermediate data structure generating unit.Other References
