   A key thing I find with plain-text-plus-markup is that it can be put into   
   version-control systems and managed collaboratively, just like program   
   source code. WYSIWYG document processors may have change tracking, but   
   they’re invariably pretty primitive compared to the branching and merging   
   capabilities of a modern VCS like Git.
