Abstract: A method and an apparatus is provided for generating a GUI from a text file. Advantageously, the text file is built by selecting key words out of a library being predefined with different key words each associated with a logical link to some graphical item. In such a way, it is particularly easy to build a text file made of key words, said text file representing a GUI to be generated. It is possible to use a parser to solve or interpret the respective logical link associated to each key words. Such parser can have access to a list of rules defining its grammar. This will allow easily to extend its grammar with new rules. It will then be particularly simple to solve a specific organisation of key words in the text file allowing e.g. an insertion of some item into another or a factorisation of graphical items.
