Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Denoting change in a DocBook document
/ Jeff Waugh <jdub@aphid.net> was heard to say: | Surely some of the documentors on this list would be presenting long DocBook | documents to traditional editors - what's your solution? Changebars are an exceptionally thorny problem. I don't know of any good, general solution. It's possible that XPointer+XLink+XSL+CVS+diff+"SMOP" is enough technology to make a pretty good stab at the problem, but it'll require some inventiveness. Keep in mind that there are two flavors of changebars. The "show me what has changed between these two versions" is SMOP (simple matter of programming). The other, more legalistic flavor, where you want a record of the fact that someone deleted a word and then added the same word back, requires an editing tool to keep track of what you change.
