-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label changebars</title>

-<h3>Marking changed parts of your document</h3>
-<p/>One often needs clear indications of how a document has changed, but
-the commonest technique, &#8220;change bars&#8221; (also known as &#8220;revision
-bars&#8221;), requires surprisingly much
-trickery of the programmer. The problem is that TeX &#8216;proper&#8217;
-doesn&#8217;t provide the programmer with any information about the
-&#8220;current position&#8221; from which a putative start- or end-point of a
-bar might be calculated. PDFTeX <em>does</em> provide that
-information, but no PDFTeX-based changebar package has been
-published, that takes advantage of that.
-<p/>The simplest package that offers change bars is Peter Schmitt&#8217;s
-<i>backgrnd.tex</i>; this was written as a Plain TeX application
-that patches the output routine, but it appears to work at least on
-simple LaTeX documents. Wise LaTeX users will be alerted by the
-information that <i>backgrnd</i> patches their output routine, and
-will watch its behaviour very carefully (patching the LaTeX output
-routine is not something to undertake lightly&#8230;).
-<p/>The longest-established LaTeX-specific solution is the
-<i>changebar</i> package,
-which uses <code>\</code><code>special</code> commands supplied by the driver you&#8217;re using.
-You need therefore to tell the package which driver to you&#8217;re using
-(in the same way that you need to tell the <i>graphics</i>
-package); the list of available drivers is pretty
-wide, but does not include <i>dvipdfm</i>. The package comes with
-a shell script <i>chbar.sh</i> (for use on Unix machines) that
-will compare two documents and generate a third which is marked-up
-with <i>changebar</i> macros to highlight changes.
-<p/>The shareware <i>WinEDT</i> editor has a macro that will generate
-<i>changebar</i> (or other) macros to show differences from an
-earlier version of your file, stored in an <i>RCS</i>-controlled
-repository &#8212; see
-<a href="http://www.winedt.org/Macros/LaTeX/RCSdiff.php">http://www.winedt.org/Macros/LaTeX/RCSdiff.php</a>
-<p/>The <i>vertbars</i> package uses the techniques of the
-<i>lineno</i> package (which it loads, so the <i>lineno</i>
-itself must be installed); it&#8217;s thus the smallest of the packages for
-change bar marking, since it leaves all the trickery to another
-package. <i>Vertbars</i> defines a <code>vertbar</code>
-environment to create changebars.
-<p/>The <i>framed</i> package is
-another that provides bars as a side-effect of other desirable
-functionality: its <code>leftbar</code> environment is simply a
-stripped-down frame (note, though, that the environment makes a
-separate paragraph of its contents, so it is best used when the
-convention is to mark a whole changed paragraph.
-<p/>Finally, the <i>memoir</i> class allows marginal editorial comments,
-which you can obviously use to delimit areas of changed text.
-<p/>An even more comprehensive way to keep track of changes is employed by
-some word-processors &#8212; to produce a document that embodies both
-&#8220;old&#8221; and &#8220;new&#8221; versions.
-<p/>To this end, the package <i>changes</i> allows the user to manually
-markup changes of text, such as additions, deletions, or replacements.
-Changed text is shown in a different colour; deleted text is crossed
-out. The package allows you to define additional authors and their
-associated colour; it also allows you to define a markup for authors
-or annotations. The documentation (very clearly) demonstrates how the
-various functions work.
-<p/>The <i>Perl</i> script <i>latexdiff</i> may also be used to
-generate such markup for LaTeX documents; you feed it the two
-documents, and it produces a new LaTeX document in which the
-changes are very visible. An example of the output is embedded in the
-documentation,
-
- <a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/latexdiff/latexdiff-man.pdf">latexdiff-man.pdf</a>
- (part of the distribution).
-A rudimentary revision facility is provided by another
-<i>Perl</i> script, <i>latexrevise</i>, which accepts or rejects
-all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to
-accept or reject selected changes only.
