Latex Markup

When submitting a revised paper, I only want to show the new text not the deleted text.

This can be accomplished by running the latexdiff command on the two files and then adjusting some commands in the preamble to be

\providecommand{\DIFdel}[1]{} % Don't show deleted text
\providecommand{\DIFadd}[1]{{\color{blue}\uline{#1}}}

Latex

I am quite often frustrated with MS Word and it's formatting capabilities or lack thereof and how it manages to screw them up. I'm very tempted by Latex but I have to pass documents with my professor and he prefers using Word documents. That leaves me little choice. I did just recently find two very cool wysiwyg editors that make Latex a lot easier. The first is almost wysiwyg and is called Lyx (which is free) and the second is a real wysiwyg called Bakoma Tex (which cost 55 € and up). They're both pretty cool and in some cases you can export latex files to rtf format using latex2rtf, which can then be converted to a Word document. Anyway, for now I'll probably have to just forget about this and go on using Word, but I wanted to note these for future reference.
