Description

While editing a page in "preview" mode, a diff block is shown before the rendered page output. The diff block contains, like a page history, highlighted differences between the saved version of the page and the currently edited text.

Demo: The recipe is now enabled on this page and in the Test group.

Installation

Copy previewchanges.php Δ to your pmwiki/cookbook directory.
Add to config.php such a line:
