A content generation computing system includes content generating application logic. The content generating application logic runs a content generation application to generate content. Content ingestion and transformation logic allows a user to identify content from a source document for ingestion into a document that is being generated. The system semantically restructures the ingested content based upon the content generation application into which it is being ingested and maintains a link from the ingested content to the source document and automatically updates the generated content when the content in the source document, that is ingested, changes.
