Claim:
A system including a processor for dynamic capturing and publishing of clipped document content, comprising: a clip capture logic that receives, via a graphical user interface, a request from a user to select a portion of a displayed image within an application, said displayed image being a graphical rendering of a content structure and said portion being defined by the user; wherein the clip capture logic creates a substantial copy of the portion of the displayed image selected by the user; an application mapping logic that determines elements of the content structure that correspond with the selected portion of the displayed image, wherein the application mapping logic captures the determined elements of the content structure; a database that stores, as a plurality of clips, the substantial copy of the portion of the displayed image selected by the user, together with the captured elements of the content structure associated with the substantial copy of the portion of the displayed image selected by the user; and a publishing logic that publishes said clips; wherein the application mapping logic receives a request from the user to select a region of interest within the substantial copy of the portion of the displayed image; wherein the application mapping logic maps the selected region of interest to the elements of the content structure associated with the selected region of interest; and wherein the application mapping logic edits a graphical rendering of the selected region of interest within the substantial copy of the portion of the displayed image by editing the mapped elements of the content structure associated with the selected region of interest.
