Bill,
Excellent point!
 For reviewing purposes, you could always compare two generated pdfs.
 There are several alternatives available for that type of comparison.

But, having a
change bar'd version of the Spec is just very good for normal reading.
 Users just like to focus on what's different without having to read
every word of the Spec.  Or, doing a manual compare like I mentioned
above with the pdf.

I have no idea
on how to accomplish this though.  Just commiserating with you...

[jakarta.ee-community] change bars for asciidoc documents?

Does anyone know what the state of
the art is for adding change bars to
asciidoc documents?  I'd like to be able to take two versions of a
document,
run them through a processor, and produce a third version, also in asciidoc
format, that includes change bars marking the changes from the first to
the
second document.

A quick search turned up this issue against asciidoctor [1], which sounds
like the problem hasn't been solved yet.  Does anyone have better
information?

This is going to be really helpful/essential when reviewing updated
specifications.  Reading the diff output of the asciidoc source code
is not
really an effective approach.

Thanks!
