  • Patent number: 11238209
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to creating, viewing, and/or editing a composite document. A composite document can be created based on a base document. The base document can include references to content in reference documents. References can be identified based on reference definitions, and reference data can be extracted from the reference document and embedded into the base document. A control mark can be added to the base document corresponding to the reference. A user can select the control mark to display or hide the embedded reference data. This adds the relevant referenced content from the reference document to the base document. This allows the user to quickly and efficiently review the referenced content while viewing the base document, without the human and computing overhead required for the user to manually find the reference document and identify the relevant portion of the reference document.
