LaTex has a steep learning curve and I would only do that in an entire program (i.e. other faculty using in their classes) committed to LaTeX. Something similar that used Markdown (or plain text) might be doable. | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 19:27 | comment | added | Carol | Do you have the ability to specify the 'product' they use (i.e., can you go as far over to the bright side as Latex? Sharelatex (web based latex) works very well for seeing 'history' of changes in the content of the latex file. The difficulty might be in annotating - but if you can annotate a pdf of the draft, then upload it into the workspace (version 1), that could provide working version of drafts. | |

Fixed grammar

| Jun 17, 2016 at 11:49 | comment | added | Lee Hachadoorian | I haven't used PDF annotation tools so I don't know. Comparing n with n-1 would be adequate for my needs, though obviously the more general case would also be useful. | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 7:44 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Do you need to compare just revision n-1 with revision n, or at any two arbitrary points in time? The former is surely easier. | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 7:42 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Is Crocdoc any different from "regular" PDF annotation tools? | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 3:39 | comment | added | tonysdg | Also - you could always try running Word under Wine on your Linux machine and using the built-in comparison features. | |
| Jun 17, 2016 at 3:35 | comment | added | tonysdg | In addition to whatever gets recommended here, you should talk to your school's Enterprise Systems department (or the equivalent thereof - essentially, whoever is in charge of your school's LMS, if there is one). If there's enough interest from you and your colleagues, they may be able to approach the LMS developers and ask for an additional feature like this. Alternatively, they may be able to provide an in-house solution (depending on the size of the university). I met with some LMS devs at a conference once (as a student) - they seem to be fairly receptive to such suggestions. | |
