Hello,

Using the new platform I find that is nearly impossible to follow the changes in an article using something like this:

http://users.gxware.org/mozillaitalia/images/diff.png

I would like to have a "normal" column diff without blank spaces, like before. In this way I can understand if the text has similarities whith the old one. 

Thanks in advance.

Reproducible: Always

Just to clarify, do you mean a unified diff?

Simone, do you mean in this style?

 It is important to spell
-check this dokumentss. On
+check this document. On
 the other hand, a
 misspelled word isn't
 the end of the world.

I mean a diff in which there are no empty blocks, like we used to have in TikiWiki.

Sorry, Simone, this fell through the cracks. Tikiwiki had a lot of diff options, so I can't exactly tell which one you mean. Just to be sure we are speaking about the same thing. Do you mean something like this?

I am pretty sure our new (well, it's kinda old now) diff solves the problems you had. If not let us know!
