RE: CVS docs


Being completly ignorant of this topic, I wonder if there isn't some
post-processing tool to rectify the document structure after changes
have been made. Or if it's only about whitespace usage, couldn't
such a tool be written easily? I think of something like 'indent'.

This could at least solve the CVS problem.
