[oXygen-user] Managing revisions

[Yves Barbion]

Thank you for your reply, Radu.

So I understand that some custom development work would need to be done,
using the various technologies (oXygen plugin, CSS, XSLT...). We are
getting requests like these quite regularly from our oXygen customers, so I
think it would be very nice to have this as a standard feature in one of
the next releases of oXygen XML Author/Editor.

Kind regards

Yves
