Leveraging Lua, we could have a cross-platform way to visually markup the changes between two versions.

For me, changebars provide a useful way to definitively show users the changes between two releases of large document without resorting to the common practice (one I dislike) of including a table of significant changes at the start of the document.

For me, changebars provide a useful way to definitively show users the = changes between two releases of large document without resorting to the com= mon practice (one I dislike) of including a table of significant changes at= the start of the document. =C2=A0

Hello John,

Perhaps this can help:

> and precisely recorded.

Then I suggest a version control system.
