Jun 8, 2014 at 8:25	comment	added	Memming		@Michael_K it is just a script so the output often needs further clean up, and sometimes preprocessing. It does a pretty good job considering what it is trying to do. An alternative could be to use `pandoc` but I haven't tried it personally. The focus is to get good PDF and editability using Word if nessesary; not a perfect Word document.
Jun 7, 2014 at 6:19	comment	added	Jonny		@Memming I tried latex2rtf but am not to impressed with the results. First it just cleared the .tex file I tested it on, at least I didn't need the contents anymore, and when I finally got it to work the results were average at best. I have to say I didn't really play with the settings of the program, maybe that is necessary to get good output?
Jun 6, 2014 at 21:37	comment	added	Memming		@StasK Yes, of course. I use `git` these days. Using the right diff-tool is the key there. It also has the advantage of supporting simultaneous merging and log. Still, git is much more difficult to use than 'track changes'.
