revbadge – Multi-color highlight builder featuring block and inline revision badges
The revbadge package provides an elegant, column-safe framework designed specifically for tracking major revisions and minor modifications in academic manuscripts. This package can also be used as a handy highlighting tool.
The revbadge block environment for handling long paragraphs, multi-line equations, lists, and sections; revbadgemultiline shares the same purpose but allows you to build multi-line badge labels; and the \revbadgeinline macro for executing tight, mid-sentence word corrections without disrupting standard line spacing. Both components feature a dynamic colored badge mechanism that labels modifications on the fly.
The package provides native, automated integration with hyperref and cleveref under a unified highlight reference counter. Additionally, revbadge comes pre-packaged with a vibrant, 24-theme colour palette accessible via highly memorable 4-letter macro colour identifiers (e.g., blue, gren, orng, purp, ylow, grey).
