A system for generating updatable structured content includes a definition processor, a template selector, and a content generator. The definition processor processes an updatable definition to produce a plurality of reusable typed-templates, each typed-template having (1) an associated type and at least one insertion point at which another typed-template may be inserted and (2) a pointer to the updatable definition. The template selector selects at least one reusable typed-template and its associated type to store in a hierarchical structure as masterdata, where the masterdata contain a pointer to the typed-template. The content generator uses the selected reusable typed-template to produce the updatable structured content according to the associated type with pointers back to the updatable definition. A change made to the updatable definition may be propagated to the structured content and to the typed-templates.
