💅 Kwiki::Diff — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about Kwiki::Diff(3) — a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and honestly? it's giving diff queen. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Kwiki::Diff — it shows you the differences between the current wiki page and older revisions. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, literally just do this:

$ cd /path/to/kwiki
$ kwiki -add Kwiki::Diff

boom. installed. slay. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first thing's first, bestie: this module requires that you be using Kwiki::Revisions. no revisions, no diff, no drama. so please, pretty please, make sure Kwiki::Revisions is chillin' in your plugins file before you come crying to me. 🥺

now the fun part. this module adds a toolbar item called "Differences" when you're viewing past revisions of wiki pages. and when you click it? 😭✨ you get a colorful side-by-side comparison of that revision and the current revision. side by side!! colorful!! the way that it just... shows you both versions at once?? obsessed. truly iconic behavior. 💅

🦋 TODO 🦋

things that are lowkey still on the vision board:

  • Alternate diff styles — like showing only the lines that have changed at the top, or inline with the text. 👀
  • Faster access to the differences of the current page. ⚡
