Abstract: A document editing tool that allows merging a first clause and a second clause to obtain a merged clause based on a set of instructions is provided. The set of instructions includes displaying a document template tree, processing a selection of the first clause from the document template tree, processing a selection of the second clause to merge with the first clause, processing an input including an indication to combine the first clause with the second clause, and generating, by the processor, the merged clause in the document template tree that includes a content of the first clause and a content of the second clause. The document template tree includes one or more parent clauses and one or more child clauses that are arranged hierarchically. The first clause includes a first metadata. The second clause includes a second metadata.

Abstract: A document editing tool that allows splitting a primary clause of a document template tree into a first split clause and a second split clause based on a set of instructions is provided. The set of instructions include (a) processing a first selection of the primary clause from the document template tree, (b) replicating the primary clause to obtain a first replicate clause and a second replicate clause, c) deleting a sub-set of content from a content in the first replicate clause to obtain the first split clause, and d) deleting a sub-set of content from a content in the second replicate clause to obtain the second split clause. The document template tree includes one or more parent clauses and one or more child clauses that are arranged hierarchically. The first replicate clause and the second replicate clause include content and a metadata of the primary clause.

Abstract: A document creation tool for dynamically generating a document that is specific to a context using a template tree of that document type. The document creation tool includes a database that stores templates of various document types, each of the templates includes a set of alternative clauses and alternative sub-clauses. A processing module processes a mere selection a template having a template tree that includes a set of the alternative clauses and alternative sub-clauses, and a mere selection of a sub-set of a plurality of alternative clauses and alternative sub-clauses from the set of the alternative clauses and alternative sub-clauses based on a corresponding text and metadata associated with the sub-set of the alternative clauses and the alternative sub-clauses. A document creation module generates the document that is specific to the context based on the corresponding text and metadata of the sub-set of the alternative clauses and alternative sub-clauses.
