Attribute synopsis
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
revision
s: ascending order by date, descending order
by date, and orders based on some other criteria are all equally
acceptable.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. A tabular or list presentation is most common.
The order of revision
s within a
revhistory
(e.g., ascending or descending date
order) is not mandated by DocBook.
