Multi-color highlight builder featuring block, inline, and word-level revision badges.

Version: 1.2.1 Release Date: 29/08/2026

---

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 versatile document highlighting tool.

Key Features

• revbadge block environment: Designed for long paragraphs, multi-line equations, lists, and rewritten sections.
• revbadgemultiline block environment: Shares the block feature set while permitting multi-line text inside the badge label itself.
• \wordbadge macro: A compact, self-contained on-line badge for quick metrics, tags, or word-level annotations without extended background track highlighting.
• \revbadgeinline macro: Executes tight, mid-sentence text corrections with soft-wrapping background highlight tracks without disrupting standard line spacing.

All components feature native, automated integration with hyperref and cleveref under a unified "highlight" reference counter, alongside a vibrant 24-theme color palette.
