HTML-on-the-flyHTML-on-the-fly involves the ability to take source that is in some format other than HTML, and convert it to HTML at the time the document is requested. This process is handled by the site that is providing the documents. The ability to generate HTML-on-the-fly is particularly useful for organizations that have a lot of information that they would like to make available to the public, but which would require a considerable effort to translate and store in HTML.
