The revhistory element can be rendered as a list or a table. If $revhistory-style is “table>”, it will be rendered using the tabular style, if it is “list”, it will be rendered using the list style.

Example 1, “An example of char alignment” shows an example of a revhistory element.

It is shown rendered as a table in Figure 1, “An example of revhistory rendered as a table”.

The same revhistory is shown rendered as a list in Figure 2, “An example of revhistory rendered as a list”.

The default style specified by $revhistory-style can be overridden on a case-by-case basis with the db processing instruction using the revhistory-style pseudo-attribute.
