NAME

latexrevise – selectively remove markup and text from latexdiff output

SYNOPSIS

latexrevise [ OPTIONS ] [ diff.tex ] > revised.tex

DESCRIPTION

latexrevise reads a file "diff.tex" (output of latexdiff), and remove the markup commands. If no filename is given the input is read from standard input. The command can be used in ACCEPT, DECLINE, or SIMPLIFY mode, or can be used to remove user-defined latex commands from the input (see -c, -e, -m, and -n below). In ACCEPT mode, all appended text fragments (or preamble lines) are kept, and all discarded text fragments (or preamble lines) are deleted. In DECLINE mode, all discarded text fragments are kept, and all appended text fragments are deleted. If you wish to keep some changes, edit the diff.tex file in advance, and manually remove those tokens which would otherwise be deleted. Note that latexrevise only pays attention to the "\DIFaddbegin", "\DIFaddend", "\DIFdelbegin", and "\DIFdelend" tokens and corresponding FL varieties. All "\DIFadd" and "\DIFdel" commands (but not their contents) are simply deleted. The commands added by latexdiff to the preamble are also removed. In SIMPLIFY mode, "\DIFaddbegin, \DIFaddend, \DIFdelbegin, \DIFdelend" tokens and their corresponding "FL" varieties are kept but all other markup (e.g. "DIFadd" and <\DIFdel>) is removed. The result will not in general be valid latex-code but it will be easier to read and edit in preparation for a subsequent run in ACCEPT or DECLINE mode. In SIMPLIFY mode the preamble is left unmodified.

OPTIONS

-a or –accept

Run in ACCEPT mode (delete all blocks marked by "\DIFdelbegin" and "\DIFdelend").

-d or –decline

Run in DECLINE mode (delete all blocks marked by "\DIFaddbegin" and "\DIFaddend").

-s or –simplify

Run in SIMPLIFY mode (Keep all "\DIFaddbegin", "\DIFaddend", "\DIFdelbegin", "\DIFdelend" tokens, but remove all other latexdiff markup from body).

Note that the three mode options are mutually exclusive. If no mode option is given, latexrevise simply removes user annotations and markup according to the following four options.

-c cmd or –comment=cmd

Remove "
