> To which of the above parts do you refer? The part that it is a security risk to allow, arbitrary LaTeX (I am thinking here on amstex, or standard+amsmath, no user defined macros) to be parsed. It however occurred to me that there is a problem, namely the diff program. If you allow arbitrary Latex to be used and modified by external editors then those editors may differ the way they treat longlines. (X)emacs for example usually breaks the old way after say 70 chars. You could use either wdiff, which is wordwise or latexdiff which really compares latex files producing the diff in a latex file. But that gets now a little off topic. Given that I think the solution you proposed in an earlier mail is superior. I will answer it separately. Uwe
