ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus for performing image forming processing of a structured document after analyzing the structured document into a tree structure including a plurality of element blocks includes a controller and an image forming device. The controller is adapted to analyze the structured document input from an inputting unit and to convert the analyzed structured document into image forming data by placing each element block of the plurality of element blocks in a predetermined position. The image forming device is adapted to perform forming an image in accordance with the image forming data prepared by the controller. The controller places the plurality of element blocks in a predetermined order in accordance with respective style specifications, the predetermined order being independent of an order of appearance of the plurality of element blocks. Therefore, the entire layout processing is significantly simplified.
