> For the purpose of presentation math, LaTex substrings get my vote. the problem with LaTeX math is that it is quite unfamiliar to a lot of people, whereas most people involved in CellML probably have a reasonable grasp of at least content MathML if not presentation MathML also. The conversion from content to presentation is quite straightforward using the W3C provided XSLT's.

Not sure I see how - there are many ways to lay out the same equation in LaTeX, especially if you are using one of the WYSIWYG editors, and even more so if you are using a different WYSIWYG editor from the last person to edit the document, so I wouldn't expect the diffs to be any better than MathML/XML diffs. In either case things can be improved by imposing certain style rules - much like Andrew suggested in another part of this thread... In terms of diffs, are there not plenty of tools around that provide XML diff's based on the underlying content of a document rather than a simple text file diff? That would seem a more appropriate way to go to me. > More generally, I think XML source formats should be avoided if > possible. Just wondering if you can explain your reasoning for this?
