摘要：A method is disclosed for managing marker entities within a document datastream independently of the content of the data stream. The method provides

consistent specification and independent processing of marker entities which may includeboth text and non-text data and which may be associated physically and/or logically withdata stream content at the document or lower order entity level. A define markerstructure control is utilized within the data stream to specify in a data type independentfashion the physical structure and content of a marker entity as well as defining anydesired relationship of a marker entity with another entity within the data stream. A mapmarker control is then utilized to control the position within a presentation area wherethe marker entity is to be imaged. In this manner, the method of the present inventionprovides a flexible, efficient and useful manner to associate a marker entity within adocument data stream which may be tied to specific layout areas during presentation andwhich may be easily manipulated at a data stream level.
