Towards a Theory of Document Structure
Kapitel i bok, 2009

The structure of documents of various degree of formality, from scientific papers with layout information and programs with their documentation to completely formal proofs can be expressed by assigning a type to the abstract syntax tree of the document. By using dependent types – an idea from type theory – it is possible to express very strong syntactic criterion on wellformedness of documents. This structure can be used to automatically generate parsers, type checkers and structure oriented editors.
