Abstract
Methods and systems for creating multi-state content using state information are disclosed. The state information may specify, for example, that a subcomponent is included in one state and excluded from another state. As another example, the state information may specify that an attribute of the object will have a first value in one state and a different value in another state. Certain embodiments allow a developer to use declarative statements to specify different states for an object. These declarative statements may directly specify the appearance attributes or subcomponents of the object. Certain embodiments allow a developer to specify state-specific appearance attributes and sub-components within the general specification of the object and without having to specify appearance attributes or subcomponents in terms of changes to a base state or any other state.
