This would be a text file that it would show. Stream it would send the

I would run the script and it would build the web pages. So the HTML
pages would be semi-static.
Compiled static HTML sites have distinct advantages, but if the site is
low-bandwidth (e.g. personal/ LAN use) and/or you're library isn't too
big, you might be able to accomplish your goal with a single CGI script.
One advantage of a purely dynamic site is that you can create/ update/
delete data in the back end via whatever means and the current
information will automagically appear via the front-end.
