Automatic display of web content to smaller display devices: improved summarization and navigation

A method of ranking entries in a table of contents, the method comprising:

• transmitting a first document to a client device, the first subdocument including a text and a link;
• receiving from the client device a request for a second document associated with the link;
• dividing the second document into subdocuments, each of the subdocuments including text;
• assigning a label to each of a plurality of the subdocuments;
• comparing the text of the link with the text of each of the subdocuments to generate a link-text value for each of the plurality of subdocuments according to the degree of association between the first document and the corresponding one of the subdocuments;
• ranking in ranked order the plurality of subdocuments based, at least in part, on the link-text values.
