DYNAMIC NATIVE CONTENT INSERTION

Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for automatically inserting supplemental items into documents. According to an embodiment, a first request is received, comprising document information that identifies a particular document. A target repeated structure type, to which a group of items in the particular document conform, is identified within the particular document. Based on the target repeated structure type, a template is generated. A new content item is generated by applying descriptive metadata that describes the new content item to the template. The new content item conforms to the target repeated structure type. The new content item is inserted in the particular document at an insertion point before or after a particular content item that conforms to the target repeated structure type.
