I'm using latex on a research paper, and I'd like to be able to generate drafts where there is a side bar as a "diff" marking, to highlight changes or additions from a previous version of the paper. If you are aware of a tool / approach for doing this, please forward the information to me or post a reply. Thanks in advance for responding. Bill Opdyke opdyke@cs.uiuc.edu

Look at the \marginpar command. This might help. -- Eddie Gornish University of Illinois - Center for Supercomputing research & Development ARPANET: gornish@csrd.uiuc.edu

I use \marginpar all the time to leave comments for myself in the text. However, I don't think that it will work at all for what Bill wants. He wants a *precise* marking of the lines that changed. \marginpar would be OK for a general "something changed around here", but it isn't very precise. Do the people who suggest \marginpar have any experience with using it to draw bars, or are you just guessing?
