        Features
        ========
        
        Annotate, discuss, (re)write…
        -----------------------------
        
        … are the three main functions of comt. They open many possible
        uses: school, corporate, legal, advocacy…
        
        
        
        Import cares for compatibility
        ------------------------------
        
        The import module of comt is compatible with many document formats
        to let you import your existing texts into the site.
        
        
        Text editor inside
        ------------------
        
        You can create new texts or edit your previously uploaded ones
        through the text editor integrated into comt. To organize your
        text, choose between 3 languages: the extended pandoc flavor of
        markdown (recommended), HTML or RST.
        
        Export to good-looking printable formats
        ----------------------------------------
        
        Simplified formatting of text in comt allows a high quality export.
        
        Several formats are available for export: PDF, Open Office, MS Word,
        LaTex and HTML.
        
        
        A text’s life
        -------------
        
        You can edit your text, taking in account modification proposals
        from commentators for example. comt allows version management.
        You can switch back to a previous version any time and visualize
        changes between any two versions. When you create a new one, you
        can keep the received comments or discard them.
        
        Contributor and role management
        -------------------------------
        
        Create a working group easily around a text or a set of texts.
        Invite your contributors on the fly and give them a common role or
        give some of them a specific role: observer, commentator, moderator,
        editor or manager.
        
        RSS feed, e-mail: choose your alert tool
        ----------------------------------------
        
        To be alerted of new contributions to a text (new comment, new
        version), a RSS feed and an e-mail alert system are provided for
        each text.
        
        
        The workspace
        -------------
        
        comt’s workspace gives you a global view of your group’s activity
        (comments, new subscribers, new texts…) and a direct access to the
        contents.
        
        You have a real-time view of your working group members, texts and
        comments through the dashboard portlets. A precious tool for managing
        a project in a paperless environment.
        
        
        Activity-meter
        --------------
        
        You can view your group’s activity at different levels (global, for
        a specific text or member). You can adjust the graph’s time-frame:
        day, week or month.
        
        Browse through comments easily
        ------------------------------
        
        What if your text receives a lot of comments? You can display or
        browse them according to the part of the text commented, their date
        of arrival, their author or their tags.
