Abstract

With the dynamic generation of documents and their presentation on various output devices, it is valuable to automatically adjust their layout and style. Measures for layout desirability have typically focused on document aesthetics (making the document look good). But other values are also important. This paper explores measures for the effectiveness with which style and layout convey the document's logical structure. This primarily contributes to the document's ease of use. The measures described are the group identity, separability and distinguishablity of elements. These measures are defined as combinations of simpler, properties that are practical to calculate.
