Re: DOCBOOK: Indicating Edits

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Jamie Smedsmo <jsmedsmo@gis.umn.edu> was heard to say:

| lead to this type of formatting?  What do other people do for editing?

DocBook provides a common attribute, RevisionFlag, for this purpose, but
maintaining it by hand (without good tools support) is tedious. Instead,
I make changes then use diffmk to build the diff'd version:
