Then you are talking about a different thing. In that case, the preferred form
of modification naturally is not Latex, except if I create a PDF using latex.

You do not change a photograph by changing the physical object. You just
change the photograph.

Then, if the translation does not happen automatically and you store patches,
the Pascal version is no source for your Python version, because the Python
version is the preferred form of making modifications.

It’s really not hard, if you look at it from a practical side.
