By default, there is a revision mode where simply wrapping the word, sentence or paragraph using \brev ... \erev where ... is the current text, the text will be colored. The behavior can be changed in the YAML frontmatter with the options showrevision: and revisioncolor:. Setting to true the showrevision: argument will highlight all changes in the revisioncolor: color. If not specified, the default color is red.
To remove the actual \brev ... \erev patterns a simple regex would work. Alternatively the filor::remove_revision() function from the filor R package can be used.
