Abstract
A method compiles a hypertext file or collection of files into a single compiled file. The compiled file is generally much smaller in size than the original collection of files. The compiled file includes compressed text and objects corresponding to the text and objects within the original files input to the compiler, pre-parsed tag tree corresponding to the hypertext structure of the included files which facilitates rendering the compiled file by the browser, and a search index. The method of compiling a hypertext source includes parsing the tagged data at the server, to recognize and separate the tags in the file from the corresponding data. The data is compressed and stored into a compiled file, database or textbase. A pointer is assigned to each of the parsed tags, the pointer indicating a location in the compiled material of the compressed data relating to each of the parsed tags. The parsed tags and pointers are also stored in the compiled representation as a structured tree format.
