[Sigia-l] new research: reformatting online text to improve readability

[Laurie Gray]

Coming across on Slashdot this morning was this article on a new technique
to break text down into visual/syntactic "chunks" to improve readability.
This is done algorithmically, but if there is anything that we can glean
from it, it could have a strongly positive impact on user experience. Note -
since it was slashdotted, site response times are slow.
