Abstract:
1. In a computing system that includes a processor and an integrated development environment configured to develop and display computing programs that include code and content, a method for logically separating the code and content of the one or more computing programs at the integrated development environment, the method comprising: an act of identifying a program containing code portions and content portions, the code portions comprising text-format instructions of source code, and the content portions comprising graphical elements displayable to a user of the program and text-format instructions of the graphical elements, wherein text-format instructions defining layout or formatting of the graphical elements are included in the content portions as opposed to the code portions of the program; an act of applying a separation algorithm to the program to separate the code portions and content portions of the program; an act of identifying the code portions of the program; extracting the code portions of the program into a desired display format; in a first view at the integrated development environment, displaying the text-format instructions of the code portions independent of the content portions, and without also including the graphical elements and the text-format instructions of the content portions of the program; and in a second view at the integrated development environment, displaying the text-format instructions of the code portions in a single pane along with the text-format instructions of the content portions, wherein the code portions and the content portions displayed in the single pane are logically separate.
