Abstract

This paper introduces the Typographic Markup Language (TML). TML is a parser-driven, micro-typography meta-language for managing the dynamic exchange of formatted content between applications in a Cross Media Publishing environment. TML is designed to solve the problem of parsing, storing and transferring of the typography meta-data between proprietary industry-standard applications like Content Management Systems and Desktop Publishing Systems. TML differs from similar procedures in two aspects. First, it stores the grammar rules for the different parsers in a database to allow easy and quick modifications of the transfer rules. Second, it reduces the mapping volume of paragraph-styles by using a meta-typographic language. Instead of n2 mappings only n mappings are required.
