I've no idea how to do it, but I agree that this would be a big 
Improvement.

If we're talking about improvements to the way the user manual is done, 
does anyone know if it would be possible to literally highlight changes 
in the manual since the previous version?  This would make it much 
easier for users to learn about new or changed features in each QGIS 
version, as well as any other content that has been added (such as 
explanations of TIN and IDW ;) ).
