Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for rendering content on electronic devices having a display. Content having first format characteristics is received at an electronic device. Based on the particular first format characteristics of the received content, one or more rendering rules are invoked. The content is rendered according to the invoked rules, where the resulting rendered content has second format characteristics. The content as rendered is displayed on the display of the electronic device.
