[Tex/LaTex] Accepting changes in Track changes package

trackchanges

Am using Track Changes package in my latex document. Got the package from here

To use this package \usepackage{trackchanges} and
Latex document will be Robinson, \change[ym]{new}{old}, \add[novi]{Thing 1 \& Thing 2, }\add[ym]{Humpty Dumpty}

To accept all the changes \usepackage[finalnew]{trackchanges}.
Accepting changes will be reflected only in PDF output.

Now my question is, Is there any way to remove all the track changes tags in latex document too?

Expectation: Accepting changes in both PDF output and in latex document(i.e.without track change tags(\add or \change etc..))

Latex document should be like Robinson, new, Thing 1 \& Thing 2, Humpty Dumpty

Best Answer

I have found a python program called acceptchanges.py in Track Changes package itself. I executed python acceptchanges.py --infile=input.tex --outfile=output.tex -c in the command line and got the latex document without the Track changes tags.

You can process your TeX files with the Perl program latexdiff that is included with most LaTeX distributions.

From the manual:

Briefly, latexdiff is a utility program to aid in the management of revisions of latex documents. It compares two valid latex files, here called old.tex and new.tex, finds significant differences between them (i.e., ignoring the number of white spaces and position of line breaks), and adds special commands to highlight the differences.

[Tex/LaTex] Compile PDFLATEX document with and without track changes

I want to suggest the package changes. It's very powerful.

Example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authormarkup=superscript,]{changes}
\definechangesauthor[name={TMOTTM},color=red]{TT}

\begin{document}
This is some filling text. 

This is more filling text with a \replaced[id=TT, ]{bad}{nice} font

\end{document}

Result:

This is the draft version. The package offers the possibility to add also a list of changes. Instead of replacing you can also add material by \added.

If you want to print the final version you can simply add the option final to the package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authormarkup=superscript,final]{changes}
\definechangesauthor[name={TMOTTM},color=red]{TT}

\begin{document}
This is some filling text. 

This is more filling text with a \replaced[id=TT, ]{bad}{nice} font

\end{document}

Now the result is:
