+\section{Description and usage}
+
+\verb|minorrevision| is intended for researchers who publish articles in peer-reviewed
+journals. In the final stages of the review process, the authors typically have
+to provide an additional document (such as a letter to the editors) where they
+want to provide a list of modifications that they made to the manuscript. It
+is convenient for the editors to have line numbers and quotations from the
+manuscript in this letter. This package helps automatizing this task for the
+authors.
+
+This is a two-step process.
+
+\subsection{Step 1: Editing the reference document}
+In the manuscript (say \verb|manuscript.tex|), you need to declare the use
+of the package, by putting the following line in the preamble of your LaTeX
+source:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage{minorrevision}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+You should also add line numbers to your manuscript, also in the preamble:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\linenumbers
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Then, in the body of you manuscript, when you make a minor
+modification, you need to use the \verb|\revision| macro. For instance, if the
+following sentence was in your manuscript:
+\begin{verbatim}
+In this paper, we show that $1+1=2$.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+And, following reviews, you want to modify it to:
+\begin{verbatim}
+In this paper, we hypothetize that $1+1=2$.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Then, instead of replacing the text directly, you should use the \verb|\revision| macro:
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\revision| \marg{label} \marg{new text} \marg{old text}
+\end{quote}
+
+In your document, this looks like:
+\begin{verbatim}
+In this paper, we \revision{mymod}{hypothetize}{show} that $1+1=2$.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Here, we have used the label \verb|mymod| for later reference. When compiling
+\verb|manuscript.tex| with LaTeX, only the new version of the text will appear.
+
+For text that is simply removed, you can use:
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\revisionrm| \marg{label} \marg{old text}
+\end{quote}
+
+For text that is simply added:
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\revisionadd| \marg{label} \marg{new text}
+\end{quote}
+
+A call to \verb|\revision{label}{text1}{text2}| is similar to
+\begin{verbatim}
+\revisionrm{label}{text2}\revisionadd{label}{text1}
+\end{verbatim}
+but the latter wouldn't work because the label would be defined twice.
+
+\subsection{Step 2: Editing the referring document}
+
+In the document where you want make reference to the manuscript, also add the \verb|minorrevision| package, and specify that \verb|manuscript.tex| is the reference:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage{minorrevision}
+\mrvdocument{manuscript}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note how \verb|.tex| should \textbf{not} be included in the \verb|\mrvdocument| macro.
+As of v1.1, you can have multiple references:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\mrvdocument{manuscript}
+\mrvdocument{manuscript2}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+You can now refer to the line numbers of modifications in the reference documents via their label names, by using:
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\mrvref| \marg{reference} \marg{label} \\
+\verb|\mrvold| \marg{reference} \marg{label} \\
+\verb|\mrvnew| \marg{reference} \marg{label}
+\end{quote}
+
+\verb|reference| should correspond to the argument of \verb|\mrvdocument|.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+On line~\mrvref{manuscript}{mymod}, we have replaced
+``\mrvold{manuscript}{mymod}'' with ``\mrvnew{manuscript}{mymod}''.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+It's up to you to format that as you prefer.
+The \verb|quote| or \verb|quotation| environments are probably better for larger modifications.
+
+For the latest declared reference document, the following simpler macros are available:
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\revref| \marg{label}\\
+\verb|\revold| \marg{label}\\
+\verb|\revnew| \marg{label}
+\end{quote}
+
+This is particularly useful when there is no possible ambiguity, i.e when there is only one reference.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+On line~\revref{mymod}, we have replaced ``\revold{mymod}''
+with ``\revnew{mymod}''.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{Implementation details}
+
+This package automatically adds the following packages:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textsf{xkeyval}: for passing options to the packages below
+\item \textsf{lineno}: to get line numbers of labels
+\item \textsf{xr}: to perform cross-reference between documents
+\end{itemize}
+
+When using the package, a new auxiliary file is created, with extention \verb|.mrv|.
+In the case of \verb|manuscript.tex|, the file will be \verb|manuscript.mrv|.
+The \verb|\revision| macro not only declares the label for \verb|lineno| and prints the new text to the document, but also writes two macro definitions in \verb|manuscript.mrv| with both the new and old text contents.
+The macro name depends on the name of the reference (here, \verb|manuscript|), and the label name (here, \verb|mymod|).
+
+When making the call to \verb|\mrvdocument|, those macro definitions are read (simply by inputting the file), and calls to \verb|\revref{mymod}|, \verb|\revold{mymod}| and \verb|\revnew{mymod}| (and \verb|\mrvref|, \verb|\mrvold| and \verb|\mrvnew|) become available.
+
+See \verb|minorrevision.sty| for the actual implementation with comments.
