Topic: Logical formatting


  
  Preparing Documents for the Web
Instead, it was conceived as a language for logical formatting -- to indicate the meaning or function of elements of documents.
The formatting options available include the typefaces present in a computer's font folder, the number of colors that the monitor is able to display, and the length of a line of text that a monitor is capable of displaying.
The task of formatting and converting print documents for the web is basically one of choosing formatting that can be rendered reliably by the majority of browsers and computer configurations and that is logical rather than physical in nature.

 Formatting text/graphics using plural independent formatting mechanisms - Patent 4539653
When formatting text and graphics to a named area, the formatting operation ignores the depth parameter, i.e., the named area is virtually bottomless for receiving an indeterminate extent of text and graphics.
When a named area is being formatted, the formatting functions outside of the named area on the given page of text are interrupted and preserved such that, upon completion of the formatting to the named area, either implicitly or explicitly, such interrupted formatting functions are automatically resumed.
In a similar manner, formatting to a named area terminates formatting to a text float or keep and is interleaved with the formatting areas outside the named area the same as footnote formatting is interleaved with other formatting.

 Partitioning Your Hard Disks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The first of these stages is physical or low-level formatting, which in most cases is handled by the manufacturer (older drives and SCSI drives have utilities that refresh low-level formats, but IDE drives don't).
Where physical formatting gives your disk its physical structure, logical formatting (which is unrelated to physical formatting) provides a means of exchanging data with the operating system by giving the disk a logical structure, the file system.
When you use the FORMAT command in DOS or the Format menu item in Windows Explorer, you are initiating a logical format of either a floppy disk or a hard disk.

After you have created a logical drive set, the partition of the drive should be as large as the virtual size of the logical drive.
After you have created a logical array set, the drive partition can be as large as the full size of the logical drive; however, this is the full virtual drive size, not the actual physical drive size.
By default, the logical drive size is set to all available space in the array(s) being associated with the current logical drive, accounting for the Span setting and for partially used array space.

Logical Structure: Logical structure is the relationship of grammatical parts of a document to other parts of the document.
People often confuse formatting with logical structure because formatting is often used to highlight logical structure (as has been done in this text, assuming the printer followed the styles of the author).
Mark-up-based languages are formats that capture logical structure and data by surrounding text within "tags." Mark-up-based formats usually use "stylesheets" to capture formatting.

 A little about Format
Formatting is the process of writing marks on the Hard Drive or (removable) Magnetic media that are used to mark tracks and sectors.
Logical formatting places a file system on your disk and a file system allows an operating system like (Windows-95) to use this space to store and retrieve files.
Formatting a floppy generally means that BOTH a low-level and a high-level format take place.

 Floppy disk format Summary
Future use of the term "density" referred to physical characteristics of the media, with MFM assumed to be the logical format used.
Quad density 5ΒΌ inch disks were rare, so it was not uncommon to use higher quality double density disks, which were usually capable of sustaining the 96 TPI formatting of quad density, in drives such as the Commodore 8050.
Formatted disk capacity is always less than the nominal capacity provided for each type of disk.

 Logical Style | using structural tags that make your page more accessible || HTMLSource ]
Many HTML authors are not aware of the differences between logical (structural) tags and their presentational counterparts, and which tag is more appropriate in different circumstances.
Block-level elements are used to format whole blocks of text — they stand out on their own, spanning the available screen-width and usually adding line breaks before and after themselves.
Recently there’s been a move back to using logical tags, glazed over with a stylesheet, so your page looks as you want it but the tags that make it up actually do more than make the page look a certain way.

 Understanding HTML Tags
Emphasizing text by formatting characters is common to all word processing software-- you usually select text and choose the formatting command, such as the bold or italic.
Logical formatting is used more often than physical formatting to get around the problem of browsers not recognizing physical tags, and thus not formatting the text at all.
Logical formatting simply tells the browser, how the text is a to be used.

Because the formatting information is stored in the paragraph marker, if you copy a piece of text and you don't copy the paragraph marker with it, you lose the formatting or style that was stored in that paragraph.
Character style are used when you want to format a section of text without formatting the whole paragraph.
When you work with styles, it can be difficult to tell whether you applied formatting with a style or using the formatting commands (called "local" formatting).

 DOS: disaster or security? (disk operating systems) (The CPA & the Computer)(November is Computer Month)
The standard format command does not wipe the disk clear of all data, thereby making it easy for anyone who gets hold of the disk to retrieve whatever is stored in it.
A logical format resets all information in the system area so that the disk is ready for new data.
Their format commands save the system information contained in the boot record, FAT table, and root directory into a separate, hidden file which cannot be erased by the standard DOS delete command.

Combinations of these formatting options can be nested, as long as the syntax is correct and all tags are closed.
Logical formatting belongs to the original ideals of HTML - creating a structured document with a set purpose or intention rather than appearance.
It is therefore advisable to use them in 'logical sequence' - for instance do not go from a level one heading to a level 4 and back to level 2.

 Smart Computing Article - How To...Format A Hard Drive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
This process, sometimes called physical formatting, is the initial formatting of a hard drive, when the drive creates physical tracks in the magnetic surface of the internal disks, giving order to the otherwise chaotic tracks and sectors.
Formatting either a new hard drive or a newly partitioned drive involves essentially the same process since you will probably partition a new drive before formatting it anyway.
Formatting isn't a hard task, but because of its ability to delete files, it can be disastrous.

 NCSA -- A Beginner's Guide to HTML, Part 2
Logical styles tag text according to its meaning, while physical styles indicate the specific appearance of a section.
For example, in the preceding sentence, the words "logical styles" was tagged as "emphasis." The same effect (formatting those words in italics) could have been achieved via a different tag that tells your browser to "put these words in italics."
Another advantage of logical tags is that they help enforce consistency in your documents.

 Formatting Text
The other category is logical tags, which define the function of the text, e.g "this is a citation" or "this is emphasized but not as much as that other text".
Logical tags leave it up to the browser to decide how to display the text; thus text defined as a citation might be displayed in one browser as italics and in another browser in a fixed-width ("typewriter") font.
The usual recommendation is to use logical tags, since it ensures that the browser will display the various parts of your text in a way that shows the relationship between them ("this is more important than that").

 MORE TEXT FORMATTING - html tutorials in web page design by J. Gilson
The great advantage of logical formatting is that while the actual formatting may not be the same from browser to browser, the effect is the same.
For example, in Netscape, text formatted with BIG is always one size larger than the surrounding text, unless the surrounding text is size 7 in which case BIG has no effect.
Text formatted with SMALL is one size smaller than the surrounding text, unless the surrounding text is size 2 or less, in which case SMALL has no effect.

 The simplest HTML example
The formatted text is generally indented to separate it from surrounding text.
Logical styles tag text according to its meaning, while physical styles specify the specific appearance of a section.
The advantage of this approach (it's similar in concept to style sheets in many word processors) is that if you decide to change level one headings to be 20-point left-justified Helvetica, all you have to do is change the definition of the level one heading in the presentation device (i.e., the World Wide Web browser).

Formatting - Formatting takes the defined Primary DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive and prepares it to allow you to read and write data to it.
How fast your drive formats depends on a number of factors - the size of your hard drive, the speed of your hard drive and the speed of your computer are the three main ones.
Again, after formatting is complete, we’ll be asked if we wish to assign a volume label and again, we’ll leave it blank.
