What am I looking at?

The four views you see represent DocBook Compare after an initial comparison and after you apply XSLT transformations to the raw delta.

Raw Delta

The delta format is the native output of DocBook Compare. For each element it shows whether it was present in the inputs (called A and B).

Side by Side

You can create the side by side view by applying XSLT transformations to the raw delta file.

Inline Report

You can create the inline view by applying XSLT transformations to the raw delta file.

PDF

PDFs can be generated from the raw delta file using the relevant toolkits for the document type.

      <title>Summary</title>
      <para>DeltaXML DocBook5 Compare frees editors to work on documents without having to track where they are making changes. Simply by comparing either minor or major revisions using DeltaXML DocBook5 Compare, revision flags are added and reviewers and customers can see exactly where changes have been made. And because DeltaXML DocBook5 Compare generates standard DocBook documents, you can edit them and publish changes using your existing publishing infrastructure.</para>
