ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, software and method for displaying line-formatted materials in multiple columns of a screen display and providing for scrolling through the materials such that lines spill from one column to another, are disclosed. The columns form a display area for display of contiguous lines of the line-formatted materials, wherein diagonally opposite ends of the rightmost and leftmost columns define the starting and ending lines of the display area, such that when scrolling through line-formatted materials the lines flow into and out of the display area at the starting and ending lines. In another embodiment, Scripting language encoded line-formatted materials are displayed under the control of a web browser using the scrollable columns. In another embodiment, line-formatted materials are encoded with one or more Scripting language codes that specify to a web browser that the line-formatted materials are to be displayed in scrollable columns.
