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 "\cmd{...}" sequences.  "cmd" is supposed to mark some explicit anotations
           which should be removed from the file before release.

       -e envir or --comment-environment=envir
           Remove explicit annotation environments from the text, i.e. remove

                       \begin{envir}
                       ...
                       \end{envir}

           blocks.

       -m cmd or --markup=cmd
           Remove the markup command "\cmd" but leave its argument, i.e.  turn "\cmd{abc}" into
           "abc".

       -n envir or --markup-environment=envir
           Similarly, remove "\begin{envir}" and "\end{envir}" commands but leave content of the
           environment in the text.

       -V or --verbose
           Verbose output

       -q or --no-warnings
           Do not warn users about "\DIDadd{..}" or "\DIFdel{..}" statements which should have
           been removed already.

BUGS

       The current version is a beta version which has not yet been extensively tested, but
       worked fine locally.  Please submit bug reports through the latexdiff project page
       http://developer.berlios.de/projects/latexdiff/ or send to tilmann@gfz-potsdam.de.
       Include the serial number of latexrevise (from comments at the top of the source).  If you
       come across latexdiff output which is not processed correctly by latexrevise please
       include the problem file as well as the old and new files on which it is based, ideally
       edited to only contain the offending passage as long as that still reproduces the problem.

       Note that latexrevise gets confused by commented "\begin{document}" or "\end{document}"
       statements

PORTABILITY

       latexrevise does not make use of external commands and thus should run on any platform
       supporting PERL v5 or higher.
