A method and system are provided for processing a document comprising a plurality of content portions. An editing copy of the document is generated. The editing copy includes embedded code identifying at least one task corresponding to at least one content portion of the document, the code defining at least one user interface element for presentation proximate to the at least one content portion and within the editing copy when the editing copy is rendered and presented.
