Abstract
The system and method interface and separate formatted content and program code in connection with a content server system. The system includes a document preprocessor, a compiler, and an execution context manager. The document preprocessor parses and analyzes a formatted content document that contains program invocations and translates the program invocations into a procedure having program code suitable for compilation or intepretation. The preprocessor also encodes designated segments of the content document as subprocedures which are invoked within a context managed by the execution context manager. The execution context manager allows values to be mapped to named parameters so that the values are available to the invoked procedures and programs. As a result, the content server system provides separation between the formatted content and program code.
