Patent ID: 6915483

Claim:
A method for generating a group of page files formatted in a page markup language for storage in a data server device of a data networking system through which the page files are addressable by a multiplicity of data processing user systems and are transferrable to the user systems, comprising the steps of: drawing up a data record-structured author file on a data processing authoring system which is connectable to the data server device via a data transmission line, in which author file text and graphic information is editable within a respective data record and reference information identifying data records of data record-structured files which are addressable in the data processing authoring system is insertable; sending the author file to a format generator device of the authoring system, by which a respective page file is generated in the page markup language from the data records of the author file and from the data records which belong to the data record-structured files and are marked by reference information; generating a respective page markup language-specific link control address addressing the page file associated with the identified data record from reference information inserted in the data records; storing the respective page markup language-specific link control address in the page file associated with the data record containing the reference information; and transmitting the generated page files that are provided with page markup language-specific link control addresses to the data server device via the data transmission line.
