1. A template for use within a software application upon a computer system comprising:
computer executable instructions stored upon a non-volatile non-transitory memory relating to a process of automatically formatting an item of content added to a graphical user interface (GUI); and
data stored upon another non-volatile non-transitory memory comprising:
a first portion defining the GUI to be rendered by the software application;
a second portion defining a plurality of triggers; and
a third portion defining a plurality of rules; wherein
the computer executable instructions when executed by a microprocessor of the computer system automatically format the item of content added to the rendered GUI with the process which comprises:
automatically applying a trigger of the plurality of triggers to the item of content in dependence upon an aspect of the added item of content; and
automatically applying a rule of the plurality of rules to the item of content; wherein
the rule of the plurality of rules is established in dependence upon the trigger of the plurality of triggers that is triggered.
