Hi,

I just had an unknown user correct a spelling error on a wiki page. Since I didn't know this user I wanted to check what he'd done in case it was spam. When I used the history link, I couldn't really see any changes. Then I showed the changes to the markup, in case some spam link was hidden with the changes. Unfortunately I still couldn't see what he'd actually changed (I've copied the output from the history to the end of this post in case you're curious).

Because of this, I'd like to suggest that we eventually add some kind of highlighting of the actual changes. Should I add this as a PITS entry?

(Highlighting text where markup is rendered might be difficult, but it should be less of a problem when you show changes to the markup).

It might also make sense to show changes side by side (using a table).

regards,
/Christian

[*] Below are the two version of the texts (when viewed as changes in the markup). You'll probably find it difficult to detect what he actually did... I appended the answer at the end of this post:

Changed line 136 from:

* Did you know LyX supported horizontal spaces like %ert%\qquad%% and %ert%\enskip%% as of 1.4.0? No? Probably, because they only could be accessed via esoteric LyX functions. Now LyX comes with a Horizontal Space dialog, which lets you chose from a range of predefined horizontal spaces, similar to the established Vertical Space dialog. This dialog also contains the horizontal fill which was implemented as an inset of its own previously, and, as new features, custom horizontal space (LaTeX: %ert%\hspace%% and %ert%\hspace*%%) as well as horizontal fills with patterns (LaTeX: %ert%\dotfill%%, %ert%\hrulefill%%, %ert%\rightarrowfill%%, %ert%\leftarrowfill%%, %ert%\upbracefill%% and %ert%\downbracefill%%).

Answer: s/chose/choose/ in fourth line.
