Although he seems more concerned with mathematical papers, most of the

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.
