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. + +Step 1) In the manuscript (say "manuscript.tex"), you need to declare the use +of the package, by putting the following line in the preamble of your LaTeX +source: + + \usepackage{minorrevision} + +You should also add line numbers to your manuscript, also in the preamble: + + \linenumbers + +Then, in the body of you manuscript, when you make a minor modification, you +need to use the \revision macro. For instance, if the following sentence was in +your manuscript: + + In this paper, we show that $1+1=2$. + +And, following reviews, you want to modify it to: + + In this paper, we hypothetize that $1+1=2$. + +Then, instead of replacing the text directly, you should use +\revision{label}{new text}{old text}, like this: + + In this paper, we \revision{mymod}{hypothetize}{show} that $1+1=2$. + +Here, we have used the label "mymod" for later reference. When compiling +manuscript.tex with LaTeX, only the new version of the text will appear. + +For text that is simply removed, you can use: \revisionrm{label}{text} +For text that is simply added: \revisionadd{label}{text} +A call to \revision{label}{text1}{text2} is similar to +\revisionrm{label}{text2}\revisionadd{label}{text1} but the latter wouldn't +work because the label would be defined twice. + +Step 2) In the document where you want make reference to the manuscript, also +add the minorrevision package, and specify that manuscript.tex is the +reference: + + \usepackage{minorrevision} + \mrvdocument{manuscript} + +Note how ".tex" should *not* be included in the \mrvdocument macro. As of +v1.1, you can have multiple references: + + \mrvdocument{manuscript} + \mrvdocument{manuscript2} + ... + +You can now refer to the line numbers of modifications in the reference +documents via their label names, by using \mrvref{reference}{label}, +\mrvold{reference}{label} and \mrvnew{reference}{label}. "reference" should +correspond to the argument of \mrvreference. + + On line~\mrvref{manuscript}{mymod}, we have replaced + ``\mrvold{manuscript}{mymod}'' with ``\mrvnew{manuscript}{mymod}''. + +It's up to you to format that as you prefer. The quote environment is probably +better for larger modifications. + +For the latest declared reference document, the simpler \revref{label}, +\revold{label} and \revnew{label} are available. + + On line~\revref{mymod}, we have replaced ``\revold{mymod}'' with + ``\revnew{mymod}''. + +This is particularly useful when there is no ambiguity, ie there is only one +reference document. + + + +Implementation details +====================== + +This package automatically adds the following packages: +- xkeyval: for passing options to the packages below +- lineno: to get line numbers of labels +- xr: to perform cross-reference between documents + +When using the minorrevision package, a new auxiliary file is created, with +extention ``.mrv''. In the case of manuscript.tex, the file will be +manuscript.mrv. The \revision macro not only declares the label for lineno and +prints the new text to the document, but also writes two macro definitions in +manuscript.mrv with both the new and old text contents. The macro name depends +on the name of the reference (here, ``manuscript''), and the label name (here, +``mymod''). + +When making the call to \mrvdocument, those macro definitions are read (simply +by inputting the file), and calls to \revref{mymod}, \revold{mymod} and +\revnew{mymod} become available. + +See minorrevision.sty for the actual implementation with comments. + + + +File manifest +============= + +README This file +minorrevision.sty The style file + + + +Bug report and questions +======================== + +Please use the official bitbucket repository for bug reports, patch proposal +and question: + +https://bitbucket.org/mguillau/latex-minorrevision + + + +Copyright and License +===================== + +Copyright 2013 Matthieu Guillaumin + +This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of +the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this license +or (at your option) any later version.
