Does anybody use > this feature? I've used the changebars.xsl stylesheet (in the standard stylesheet distro) in combination with Norm Walsh's "diffmk" utility: http://www.sun.com/xml/developers/diffmk/ ...which generates a doc that shows deletes in strike-through, added text in one color, changed text in another. It's very easy to use, two-step process: 1. Run "diffmk -docytpe docbook <old.xml> <new.xml> <diffs.xml>" 2. Run XSLT engine on diffs.xml w/ changebars.xsl to get diffs.html HTH, --Mike
