@felwert @mpe @mike Another argument for DOCX-based editing (although not necessarily with Microsoft software) is the absolutely abhorrent state of markdown editors for collaborative editing and commenting. Humanists are used to have multiple marginalia, glosses, comment streams, and built-in granular version control, which are nigh impossible to replicate in a markdown environment.

@tillgrallert @mpe @mike Right! Although in that case I’d prefer LibreOffice+ODT, since DOCX to my knowledge still does not allow comments in footnotes. 🫠

@tillgrallert @felwert @mpe @mike Agreed that we need something like Sharelatex, but for Markdown. An online Quarto so to speak.
