Subject: [Instiki] showing diffs between revisions?
Message-ID: <2cb10c441001121522x675fe80fwf3d4258109692f75@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, all-
Is there any good way to show diffs between revisions in instiki?
i.e., not just flip between revisions, but to programatically show
changed between them, like
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maungatautari_Restoration_Project&action=historysubmit&diff=337085263&oldid=335156987
?

I've searched the wiki for this info, with no luck, so I'm hoping I'm
either just missing something, or someone has a github branch with
this feature hacked in, or... well, any answer that isn't 'hack it in
yourself' :) (Normally I'd give that a shot, but I'm pretty swamped
right at the moment.) This is a blocker for me in an otherwise really
terrific tool. :/

Thanks ahead of time-
Luis

I'm a little confused by your question.

Instiki does display diffs between revisions.
Unlike Wikimedia, it is restricted to showing diffs between SUCCESSIVE revisions.
But, from the history page, it's easy to jump to a particular point in the revision history and see what changed there.

You're confused because I didn't see the history page; I saw only
'back in time'. Perfect! Thanks!

Now that I've figured out history, I just wanted to say that instiki
is a really terrific piece of software. Thanks to everyone who has
contributed; it is making my life much simpler.
