Abstract
This demonstration will present a system for variable-length document presentation: on-line documents whose length can be adjusted to the user's demands. The system depends on an initial marking-up of document text using an RST Markup Tool - a graphical interface for marking up the dependency (rhetorical structure) between segments of text. During presentation, this rhetorical structure is used to prune the text down to the size requested by the user, allowing retention of the essentials of the text.
