1. A method for rendering linked content in a first document, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a first user entry of a first link in the first document, wherein the first link refers to a first set of content having a source location that is external to the first user entry;
displaying, by the computing device, the first set of content with a first display format of the source location in a user interface that displays the first document, the first display format includes paragraph formatting properties for each paragraph of the first set of content, including:
retrieving, by the computing device, the first set of content using the first link; and
updating, by the computing device, the user interface to display both the first set of content with the first display format of the source location, and a second set of content that is distinct from the first set of content; and
receiving, at the computing device, an edit to the first display format of the displayed first set of content, the edit overriding the first display format; and
updating, by the computing device, the user interface to display both the first set of content with the overridden first display format,
wherein displaying the first document in the user interface that displays the first document comprises displaying the first document in the user interface, including updating the user interface to display both the first set of content and the second set of content, without displaying the first link.
