Second miniproject: "Text objects and their styles"

The distinction between Architecture and layout is used (with different terminology) in word processors, HTML web documents, and so on.

The Architecture of the document does not figure prominently in the discussion; in most approaches, the Architecture is not treated at all. Only "logical" or content aspects of the document are discussed. Architecture components are easy to find:

The Layout of the document is usually the "style" of the document. This is a traditional term, which goes back to the "stylesheets" of publishing houses. An informal example is our stylesheet for term papers.

The stylesheet has the form of a table such as the following, which defines a set of style properties for each component of the text object (e.g. character, paragraph, page, ...):

Text object Style

Title Char: Times New Roman, 18pt, bold Para: Centred

Heading 1 Times New Roman, 14pt, bold Para: Left, no indent, ...

Heading 2 Times New Roman, 12pt, bold Para: Left, no indent, ...

Standard Times New Roman, 12 pt, regular

Address Char -> Standard Para -> [define margins ets....]

Quotation ...

... ...

1. Draw the typical Architecture of a document, with its components.
2. Make a list of the components and, above all, the types of component.
3. For each component ("document object", "text object") define its style in a table.
4. Practical application:
   1. Choose a sentence from any text (book, internet, invented ...)
   2. Define the parts of speech (Noun, Article, Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection) as text object, each with its own style (e.g. highlight type and colour combination).
   3. Write up your notes for this course as a document with a well-defined Architecture and an appropriate stylesheet" in the form of a table, implemented in MS-Word with styles (including the parts of speech example).
