Does anyone know how to make a revision bar in Latex? I found some
code to do it in TeX, but it doesn't work for Latex. The code for TeX
(from "TeX for the Impatient" by Paul Abrahams) is:

\line{\hskip -4pt\vrule\hfil\vbox{
This text has a revision bar to the left. }}

Page 205 of the Latex book informs us that you can't use \line in
Latex. Instead you must use \flushleft, \flushright or \center. I
tried using \flushleft, but nothing happened.
