I have a project whereby a large number of technical specifications are currently 'published' as HTML files. The HTML files are not hosted on a web server, but zipped up and distributed to be access from a PC's local file system.

I am exploring the idea of creating a "publishing" system where the publisher could amend the content of the HTML files based on custom tags within the HTML itself. I suppose this would be similar to using PHP or ASP if it were server based.

So for example I might add

<Publisher action="___" params="________" />

The publisher would detect the presence of the "tag" do the required processing and then inject the necessary HTML into the files replacing the tag.

Does anyone know a way of achieving this using .NET based technology, or another way to achieve the same thing.
