Hello All, before I submit this as a feature request, I would like to get some feedback what other users think:
- snip - With the current "page text in one line" page store format, it is hard to compare page data files and merge differences between them. Compare/merge of page data files can be very useful after PmWiki updates to track changes in wikilib.d and merge them with local customizations. The same applies for maintaining multiple wikis. There are great visual diff tools like KDiff3, Meld, Beyond Compare, WinMerge, CSDiff..., but without linebreaks, they much less useful. Therefore I suggest an additional/alternative page data file format where line breaks in the page text are kept unencoded. - snip - I already thought about it one year ago, considering a filter for beyond compare. Then the Wiki introduction had been delayed so I didn't pursue the filter idea. Now I start again and I still think it would be a good thing. But I can't estimate whether it's worth the effort. I also have no mature suggestion about possible implementations. What about starting continuated lines with a special character (let it be the space character, asterisk or whatever)?
