Title: Upgrading a LaTeX package

Abstract

During the recent holidays I have been upgrading the LaTeX package changebar. This package allows the author to specify change bars in a LaTeX document: bars in the margin that indicate changes in the document. The original package appeared to have several bugs. While correcting these several other bugs were detected. These are caused by the way TeX internally produces typeset pages.

This talk will introduce you to the structure of TeX and then I will talk about the solutions for generating the proper change bars. This will illustrate some advanced TeX programming.
