Minial working example¶
Take the following small example file as our-edition.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[final]{reledmac}
\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
\pstart
We have a passage of text here, such \edtext{a}{\Afootnote{om. M}} nice
place for a critical note.
\pend
\endnumbering
\end{document}
If we annotate that with the command samewords our-edition.tex
(in the same
directory as the file is) we get back the following result
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[final]{reledmac}
\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
\pstart
We have \sameword{a} passage of text here, such \edtext{\sameword[1]{a}}{\Afootnote{om. M}} nice
place for \sameword{a} critical note.
\pend
\endnumbering
\end{document}
Notice how the three instances of “a” have been wrapped in a \sameword{}
macro.
If we run the command samewords our-edition.text --output annotated-version.tex
then the annotated version is saved to the file “annotated-version.tex” in the
current directory.
