# Draftable I came across the [Draftable webapp](https://draftable.com/compare) to create diffs for PDF and DOCX files. [Their example](https://draftable.com/compare/example-paper) showed that it worked well for diffing two arXiv PDFs. They have...

@slochower nice approach. I agree that using HTML tags to color portions of the text in the source markdown document may be the right solution. I don't think it's inelegant...

@slochower for the `BUILD_PDF_VIA_LATEX` step, would it be possible to take the output `.tex` file from the earlier `pandoc --to=latex` command and pass it directly to the latex compiler? Is...

Here's a [useful resource](https://github.com/PHPirates/travis-ci-latex-pdf) on different ways to install LaTeX on Travis CI. It mentions [`tectonic`](https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/), which seems to be a more user-friendly `xelatex` (although I don't have a good...
