1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- building first renderable view information usable by a limited-capability computing device to present an item in an electronic form and indicia associated with a nested item for that item and enabling selection of the indicia; and
responsive to receiving an indication of a selection of one of the indicia, building a second renderable view information usable by the limited-capability computing device to present the nested item associated with the indicia effective to permit a user to navigate to the nested item.

Abstract
System(s), method(s), and/or techniques (“tools”) are described that enable electronic document functionality for a limited-capability computing device. The tools may enable a computing device with limited display capabilities to present and enable navigation through nested items or hierarchical view levels of an electronic document. The tools may also build renderable view information by which a device may enable electronic document functionality based on the capabilities of that device.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving viewing capabilities of a computing device or a request to treat the computing device as not permitting two or more hierarchical viewing levels to be presented at once; and
if the viewing capabilities permit two or more of the hierarchical viewing levels to be presented at once, building, from hierarchical view information associated with an electronic document and having hierarchical viewing levels, renderable view information by which the computing device is enabled to present the two or more of the hierarchical viewing levels, or if the viewing capabilities do not permit two or more of the hierarchical viewing levels to be presented at once or the request is received, building, from hierarchical view information associated with an electronic document and having hierarchical viewing levels, renderable view information by which the computing device is enabled to present one of the hierarchical viewing levels. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

- 16. One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions therein that, when executed by a computer, are capable of acting as an intermediary between a limited-capability computing device and a network computing architecture that is capable of enabling electronic document functionality on a high-capability computing device but not on the limited-capability computing device, the media effective, in conjunction with the network computing architecture, to enable the limited-capability computing device to perform the electronic document functionality.
