A system which includes a cell phone or other mobile device which uses RSVP (rapid serial visual presentation) to present text information. The mobile device software receives the textual material to be displayed in a mark-up language, preferably XML. The markup language is used to provide information about the actual content being displayed to indicate certain features using enhanced RSVP techniques. To provide these marked-up language files to the mobile device, a backend system is utilized. The backend system receives the files to be read and parses them to provide the markup language based on the desired changes to be used by the advanced RSVP display of the mobile device. The marked up file can be forwarded on a routine basis or can be requested by the user. The mobile device receives the marked up file and displays the material in the enhanced RSVP methods according to the commands.
