Hi It's try that a Wysiwyg Diff would be great. Now there are a few issues when scripting is involved. But now with syntax 2 we can detect the usage of velocity. So it would make a lot of sense to:
1/ Detect usage of scripting in a field -> no usage: use HTML/Wysiwyg diff -> usage: use text diff For macros, we should not render them before the HTML diff as we could have the same issue as with scripting. Highly important is a real diff for textarea fields.
