Well the other contributors use the graphical interface so I presume tey do not have much control over how the text in the wiki itself is formatted, regarding line breaks inside of paragraphs. Of course, if everybody inthe team would use text editing, we could agree on some formatitng convetnion, such as not more than 80 characters per line. That being said, een such a convention would not be that helful since just adding a word, say, may change the formatting completely and thus produce not so readable diffs, when the traditional diff is used. So, being able to use wdiff would reallybe helpful in he project e use moins for, here. > > So wen I receive diffs, it is practically impossible for > > me to figure out where the changes have occurred. > > Isn't there also a URL (link) in the email, so you could just view the > fancy diff on the web, it should be better visible there. Yes, there is a link, indeed. The point is, since I'm blind, I hardly believe the fancy diff to be really that useful to me.
