After writing a detailed report in org-mode and submitting it via latex/pdf, I've found out that for the next version of the report, I am required to use "track changes" in MS Word. I thought my best way to approximate this is to submit two versions: one with removed text in strikeout and new text in red (hence my previous post where I learned to RTFM on Macro arguments). The best hack I could think of to generate a "final" pdf was to change the macro definition so that struckout text isn't included in the output and new text is no longer red. i.e. #+MACRO: stk @@latex:\sout{$1}@@ becomes #+MACRO: stk This works for body text, but leaves an empty headline, and in general I don't really like it. Do any experienced org-folk have recommendations on a better way to do this?
