Description Joshua Wulf 2011-05-14 21:02:21 UTC 
Figure out a way to highlight text in a topic based on an svn diff.

This is so that when we ask an SME to review changes to a topic, we can visually display what has been changed in the html output.

One possibility is to use a role attribute on elements whose contents have changed. The development brand css can then be modified to provide a visual cue based on the resultant html div class.
Comment 1 Matthew Casperson 2011-09-16 01:50:11 UTC 
Daisy Diff might provide a solution once the topics have a HTML view stored in the database: http://code.google.com/p/daisydiff/
Comment 2 Matthew Casperson 2011-09-16 01:57:14 UTC 
http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/ could be used to see diffs at the xml level

Comment 4 Joshua Wulf 2012-02-06 09:08:18 UTC 
Choose two revisions of a topic and view a graphical diff of them, side-by-side
with colour highlighting.

By default it should diff the latest revision of the topic against a
user-selected earlier revision, but the user should also be able to diff two
earlier revisions against each other.
Comment 6 Matthew Casperson 2012-12-03 21:56:15 UTC 
This has been implemented in the new UI.
