Abstract
In this paper, we propose a computer aided writing in a markup method. The user doesn't need to pay much attention to sentence connectivity when he/she newly inserts a sentence or changes the order of sentences, because the system generates appropriate connective expressions. At first, we present our expression of text structure. Secondly, we propose a markup language called TSML (Text Structure Markup Language), which designates text structure. Thirdly, we discuss about a method inserting appropriate connective expressions. We implemented the TSML Editor on Windows NT machine by Visual C++ To evaluate the implemented system, we asked each of eleven subjects to write a document on this system and to fill out a questionnaire which consists of twelve items. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the system based on the result of these questionnaires.
