SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A UNIFIED PRINTABLE COLLECTION OF HYPERLINKED DOCUMENTSABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREThe present invention relates to a method for creating a meta-document. The method collects (264) at least one hyperlinked document based on a seed document (405) and cross-references the documents within the collection. Cross-referencing includes resolving an anchor and an object, and indexing the resolved anchor and object based on respective locations within a meta-document. The method organizes (265) the collected documents and seed documents. The method also publishes (268) the meta-document including the cross-referenced documents. Preferably, the method of collecting (264) includes accepting the seed document having an anchor pointing to an object, and adding a document containing the object to the collection. In addition, collecting (264) includes the step of manually modifying the collection. The meta-document is a collection of the seed document and the hyperlinked document. Further, the index is one of a footnote, an end note, a table of contents, and an appendix.Fig. 2.
