Change Details

Currently it is possible to request html source code of diff, it would be far more useful if diff could be retrieved in a way, that for example in xml format we could have <diff> <original>Previous text</original> <newtext>New text</newtext> </diff> -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement

Currently it is possible to request html source code of diff, it would be far more useful if diff could be retrieved in a way, that for example JSON parsers can understand. The HTML diff formatter already does intraline processing but is currently hardcoded in the PHP C-extension to produce HTML directly. We can re-implement this as a DiffFormatter subclass and expose it in the revision query API as one of the diff formats.
