strip-changes-markup

This program removes changes package markup from LaTeX documents. It was written because none of the existing regular expression based scripts actually worked on any sort of complex markup. This program (written in Rust) is not based on regular expressions, but has an actual semi-proper parser.

Installation and usage

1. Install Rust following instructions.
2. To compile and install the program (typically in ~/.cargo/bin/), run

   cargo install --path=.
   

   If you would prefer just building or running the program without installing, use cargo build or cargo run.
3. To process a document, use

   strip-changes-markup input.tex -o output.tex
   

For further options, such as whitespace and comment stripping, use the --help argument (cargo run -- --help when running through cargo without installing).

Miscellaneous

Included is also a plug-in replacement changes-simple package for LaTeX, that is less likely to blow up with broken journal styles than the more complex changes package.
