Adaptive document layout

The use of grid-based designs to automatically reformat, resize, and paginate electronic text and graphics so that documents look as good on displays of any size as they do on paper is discussed. Computers provide many opportunities for customization of style and content, as well as for navigation, animation, and interactivity, that are bound to make the on-screen experience superior. Grid-based design represents page layouts through adaptive page templates that provide a general framework for the layout of the elements on the page. Each template is designed to adapt to a range of display dimensions, as well to other types of viewing conditions.
