Description
A revhistory is a structure for documenting a
history of changes, specifically, a history of changes to the document
or section in which it occurs.
DocBook does not mandate an order for
revisions: ascending order by date, descending order
by date, and orders based on some other criteria are all equally
acceptable.
Processing expectations
