Another idea would be to use https://www.authorea.com/ which uses latex. I had a look it was not for me, but it allows via a git plugin to use an external editor and to push and to pull. I have not looked into its track change functionality but may be it is worth a try. > Even I, the supposedly technical one, screw up git regularly. Interesting, I chose mercurial and never had a problem. When I had a look at authorea I thought about switching from RCS to git but found it to difficult for, mercurial was much easier and has a git plugin which works nicely. Mercurial also as an annotate functionality (supported by emacs) which is nice and comes close to a change track (but of course it is linewise not wordwise). Uwe
