Hello, Thank you for your answer ;) Other people said me yesterday on Git irc channel that .odt files are binary, and Git will not handle them correctly. I don't know DocBook XML, or Markdown, but after some research, I don't think this format will be easy for me to use it. Others people advised me start learning Latex. It's a good advice I think.
But, even with Latex, I think that Git will make diff between textual files, and I would only need to have a graphical diff tool. I will keep searching it ;) Thank you so much for your help ;) Florian 2014-12-23 16:57 GMT+01:00 Gergely Polonkai <gerg...@polonkai.eu>: > Hello, > > .odt files (I assume you are talking about OpenOffice documents) are > binary, and as such, Git doesn't handle them very well.
