--- Comment #11 from Gurch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-12-04 20:36:09 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > On a wiki using MW's built-in diff functionality > (slow!) or wikidiff2 (WMF uses this), you'll get an HTML diff polluted with > <table>, <tr>, <td>, <ins> and <del> tags. But if that's what you want, you > can > get it :) Sometimes the intended purpose is display to the user anyway, in which case it's not a problem. For those cases where it isn't, it's not *that* difficult to parse the HTML and get the information into a more machine-friendly format. (I have, of course, considered fetching the two revisions, then producing the diff locally. But when the change is small relative to the size of the page, which is often, and the user is on a slow connection and/or has a slow machine, this option takes much longer, and alas there are still many people out there on dial-up. :( Obviously if this blows stuff up then forget it, Brion has the last word on that. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
