A rendering program executes periodically to render web documents from source documents, base strings for various visual features, database information, and descriptive text. Special command strings located within a source document direct the rendering program to insert information for a database or to insert descriptive text. The format for the inserted data is determined according to a base string for the particular feature(s) of the document being inserted. The resulting rendered document is stored on the web server for quick retrieval with little or no additional document processing.
