Dear list, I use org-mode to draft papers and reports, using embedded R code and LaTex snippets. It is a fantastic tool. But sometimes I have to collaborate with less enlighted colleagues who use MS Word. For now I am exporting my document to odt, and from there to MS word. Then, when I get the manuscript back with comments and edits (usually using the track changes option), I transcribe them to a new new node in my org-mode document. This is usually a slow and error-prone process that involves cutting and pasting text from the edited MS word document back into the org-mode document, trying to avoid pasting over the LaTex and R snippets. When I am done, I end up with a structure that looks something like this.
#+TITLE: My manuscript * Version 1 ** Introduction ** Methods ..... * Version 2 ** Introduction ** Methods ..etc. Of course, I could easily keep each version in a separate org mode file. I would like to get some suggestions or tips on how to improve this workflow. For example: - Is there a better way to have a non-org mode use to edit/correct a org-mode document and then bring back the corrections to an org-mode document? - What is the best way to compare org-mode nodes/branches (like in the above example the Version 1 and Version 2 nodes?). Can I use ediff within an org-mode file? Or should I keep separate versions on separate documents? All recommendations will be welcomed!
