Subject: Change bars in PDF (using XEP)
What is the state of creating revision marks / change bars in a PDF document? Seems to be something of a black art, not much information to be found about it. DocBook XML has the revision and revisionflag attributes, but it seems that the FO stylesheets (1.69.1) don't process them. RenderX XEP 4.2 has support for rx:change-bar-begin and rx:change-bar-end extensions, which work the same as their namesakes in the XSL 1.1 draft. There is some change bar processing in the HTML stylesheets, which should insert some CSS rules in the result and then enclose the appropriate elements in a div or span with the appropriate class, to get visual distinction. I tried a transformation to HTML with some elements that had revisionflag set, but I could not get anything like that out. I assume you need to use the profile stylesheets and set the profile.revisionflag parameter, correct? What would be the simplest way to bring this kind of functionality to the FO --> PDF transformation? I was thinking of augmenting my stylesheet customization layer so that every element with revisionflag set would be enclosed in an rx:change-bar-begin / end section, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Any ideas would be appreciated. --Jere
