Techniques are presented for providing seamless extension porting. A second browser of a client device can receive a call to execute extension code containing function calls for a first browser. The extension code can further include a preload manifest key, which can include at least one bridge script property providing a bridge between function calls for the first browser and function calls for the second browser. In response to receiving the call to execute the extension code, the at least one bridge script property of the preload manifest key may be performed to execute the referenced bridge. Subsequently, remaining code of the extension code may then be executed. The bridge can receive function calls by the extension code. When a function call for the first browser is received, the bridge can map the function call for the first browser to a corresponding function call supported by the second browser.

Seamless extension porting

Content can be flowed through one or more containers that can be laid out analogously to printed material. Content is flowed into the first specified container until that container is 'full' of content. Subsequent content is then flowed through subsequent containers, each of which is individually identified, and whose ordering is specified independently of their position and visual presentation. Multiple independent sources of content can be flowed through multiple independent collections of containers. Each container can format the content presented within it independently from other containers, and each container can comprise script, or other programmatic constructs, which can operate on, and modify, the content flowed into such a container. To provide for the rich layouts, content containers can be nested inside one another such that multiple layers, or levels, of the layout can be edited independently of one another.

Content flow through containers

A system and method for storing document data in a serialized binary format recognition lattice structure so that the data is accessible to other applications. The lattice structure is generated that includes root node data. Child nodes correspond to columns of the recognition lattice. Each node includes a descriptor that is a collection of flags indicating presence of specific components of the node. The child nodes may include grandchild nodes with similar structure corresponding to elements within the columns. Each node further includes property information associated with the node. The recognition lattice is stored in a serial binary data format.

A system and process for enabling updates of an ink analysis document model are described.

On demand data proxy

A system and method for assisting with analysis and recognition of ink is described. Analysis hints may be associated with a field. The field may receive electronic ink. Based on the identity of the field and the analysis hint associated with it, at least one of analysis and recognition of ink may be assisted.

Analysis hints

An application programming interface instantiates an ink analyzer object that receives document data for a document containing electronic ink content from a software application hosting the document and running on a first processing thread. The ink analyzer object then employs the first thread to make a copy of the document data, provides the copy of the document data to an electronic ink analysis process, and returns control of the first processing thread to the analysis process. After the analysis process has analyzed the electronic ink, the ink analyzer object reconciles the results of the analysis process with current document data for the document.
