Each partial layout template expresses rules for producing a layout of the corresponding partial logical structure. A partial layout generator produces a partial layout structure by recursively calling itself or by calling a content layout system while referring to the partial layout template, and pours the generated partial layout structure into a lowest-rank frame. A layout of the entire logical structure is produced by sequentially performing the partial layout operations.Other References
