ABSTRACT:
Preformatted text within HTML documents is examined to determine if reflowing the text during formatting for display within a narrow viewing area is appropriate. This determination is based on various special formatting indicia which indicate that the text is a table or other informational device in which lines of text should not be reflowed. If no special formatting indicia are detected, the preformatted text tags are removed, allowing the preformatted text to be reflowed when formatted for display. Otherwise, the preformatted text is left alone or revised according to a user preference. Preformatted text, when appropriately reflowed, is thus rendered more readable and the necessity for scrolling right and left is eliminated.
