I want to start a collaborative Word document in Git and want to know what is the best format?
Some free requirements that I have for this document are : the ability to easily add simple markup, such as bold, italics, perhaps some font sizes or emphasis (nothing too technical). The ability to work freely in git without too complicated commands, since not everyone in the project will be git gurus or may even be users for the first time. Something bright
I am already biased against Microsoft Word, because I do not want to pay for it, and I have many bells and whistles that I do not need, and frankly find annoyance.
I'm already inclined to use OpenOffice Writer with ODF formatting. Has anyone done this, or do you have suggestions as to why this is not a good idea? There are many formats, for example:
It's useless.
My argument for using OpenOffice is that it is free, it can be installed on most computers, and it is open source. This project is also open source, and it seems that using open source tools is true to spirit.
I know this is not a discussion forum, and I am really looking for the final answer to the file type or some suggestions from anyone who has experience working with versions of word / text documents in Git. It is possible that SVN will use this project, mainly because it sucks. Thank!
