Fuller holds a patent titled "Storing valid and invalid markup language in strict and relaxed tables respectively." This inventive editor enables web authors to edit HTML visually while preserving the HTML source document. The editor maintains the structure and format of the HTML, allowing for simultaneous modeless visual and source document editing. When an edit is made, only the HTML source around that edit is updated, rather than rewriting the entire HTML source document.
