MS Office 365 is totally free for students and teachers in the university. Click on this link to register a free account.

MS Office 365 provides several options (allow-editing; allow-viewing) to share files via links.

• Try this link to view a Word file online.

• Try this link to edit a shared Word file online.

Pandoc is another option

Convert Word to Markdown and then git control on it. However, people cannot directly read the content on GitHub.

Pandoc Resources

• Using Microsoft Word with git
• Github for Writers, however, it seems not in good conditions.

Word diff seems to be a great way to automatically convert a word file to a markdown file.

The following two Atom packages fit my purpose well.

• zotero-picker
• zotero-citations

When trying to output PDF or figures, is that possible to auto-generate csc code from the GUI input (e.g. Adobe Illustrator) of users? If yes, it would provide an automatic mechanism to generate figures with raw data.
